PLYMOUTH — Sixty local youths were at Riverside Intermediate School Monday morning to audition for the Missoula Childrens Theater production of “The Princess and the Pea.”
Directors Brian and Allison Epperson said they found a spot in the production for all 60 children.
Allison Epperson is originally from Texas.
She said, “I’ve been doing theater with Missoula for the last five years, so it seems like forever since I had a permanent home.”
The producers are put up by area families involved with the Moms for Missoula committee.
Mary Ann Peters said she has brought her daughters to the auditions for the last three years.
“It’s a way for them to be creative,” she said. “They have to learn lines and they get bolder by having to perform on the stage.”
Peters’ daughter Kate will be playing the part of the “pea.”
There will be shows at 3 and 5:30 p.m. Saturday at the Young Amphitheater in Centennial Park.
