The Missoula Community Theatre is thrilled to announce an OPEN AUDITION for Rudolph The RedNosed Reindeer–one of the most beloved, nostalgic holiday tales ever on Sunday, September 24th. All children ages 10-15 will audition together beginning at 11:30AM until 1:00PM and should plan to remain at MCT for the entire 1.5 hour session. All others, ages 16 and older may come anytime between 1:00-4:00PM. Call-backs will follow after 4:00PM. There are 21 ‘named’ roles available to be cast, and a large ensemble. All genders, ages 10 and older, are welcome to audition, which will take place at the MCT Center for the Performing Arts. Please use the Main Street entrance and proceed to the 3rd floor to complete the audition form. This is a three-week run, with public performances scheduled for November 30-December 17, 2023.

The auditions will be conducted in two segments:
Ages 10-15: 11:30AM for all children
Ages 16 and older: 1:00PM to 4:00PM
Call backs, as needed, will begin after 4:00PM

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer is a whimsical musical based very closely on the 1964 Claymation television special. Among the named roles to be cast are Sam the Snowman (Burl Ives in the TV special), Santa and Mrs. Claus, Clarice, Hermey, Mr. & Mrs. Donner, Bumble the Abominable Snowman and of course, Rudolph! A large ensemble will be cast as elves, reindeer, human-operated puppets to play the Misfit Toys, and more! All gender representations are welcome for these roles. The audition process involves singing, reading from the script, and dance/movement. Those with dance experience and puppetry skills are highly encouraged to audition. There are no perusal scripts available, but helpful sides (sample script & music segments) will be posted at https://mctinc.org/audition/

Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer is under the direction of Abigail Gilbert, who most recently directed MCT’s Legally Blonde, Jr. Kelsey Seals (music director for Legally Blonde, Jr) will music direct and Megan HensleyShapiro, owner of Studio M, will provide the choreography. The performances run from November 30-December 17, 2023 at the MCT Center for the Performing Arts. Tickets are on sale now!
