*Children must have completed kindergarten to audition Children should dress comfortably for movement and be prepared to shine! All Children will be required to stay for the full audition process (ends approx 11-11:30am). The Cast will be announced at the end of the group audition. Parents have the option of sitting quietly in the audience to watch the auditions or returning at the end of the audition process.
Purposely varying from the plot of Daniel Defoe’s novel, we arrive on Robinson’s island years after he and his sole companion, a goat named Wilson, are shipwrecked. We find that the island has turned into a tourist destination centered around a lovable singing leopard, a tribe of natives known for their colorful coifs, Friday’s Seaside Resort and, of course, the legend of Robinson Crusoe. In a new version of the age-old tale, we flasback for a great story featuring music, plot surprises and humor.

For over a decade now, LPCA has offered a free one-week theatre camp each summer. Missoula Children's Theatre holds auditions on Monday morning and the shows are mounted on Saturday of the same week. On average 100 or so kids from first through twelth grade show up for auditions, and approximately 50 will be cast in the show. MCT also offers 3 free workshops while in residence; children that are interested in theatre and were not cast, or that did not audition are encouraged to try these classes.
