Ahoy, mates! Here’s an exciting opportunity for the young and young at heart in the community: the “Treasure Island” musical auditions are setting sail, and everyone’s invited to hop aboard this adventurous production. Presented by the renowned Missoula (Montana) Children’s Theatre, this musical promises not only to be a thrilling journey but also an enriching experience for all involved. And the best part? There is absolutely no participation fee for the students. It’s a fantastic way for kids and teens to dive into the world of acting, make new friends, and gain invaluable stage experience.

For those eager to showcase their talent, auditions will be conducted on Monday, July 22, from 10 a.m. to 12 noon at the Clinton Methodist Church gym, located at a prime spot in our community—601 South Fourth Street, Clinton, Missouri. This is a wonderful chance for students from kindergarten through to graduating seniors of 2024 to try out for one of the 50 roles available in this enchanting musical. Organizers emphasize the importance of punctuality; the auditions will start sharply at 10 a.m., and potential cast members are expected to remain present for the entire duration of two hours. While no prior preparation is required, bringing your enthusiasm and passion for the arts will surely make a great impression. Keep in mind, though, that casting is competitive, and not all who audition will secure a role in the production.

Should your sails be set towards the stage, and you find yourself among the 50 lucky actors, be prepared to commit to a week of rehearsal from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily following auditions. It’s a rigorous but rewarding schedule that leads to the grand performances on Saturday, July 27, at the Clinton High School Performing Arts Center. With shows at 3 p.m. and 5:30 p.m., it’s going to be a day full of piratical merriment for performers and audience members alike. For those wishing to support these budding stars, tickets are affordably priced at $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for students, making it a fantastic outing for the entire family.

Behind this endeavor is the supportive collaboration between the Clinton Methodist Church and the Clinton Arts Council, highlighting the community’s dedication to fostering the arts among its youth.

This event is not just a testament to our community’s vibrant spirit but a thrilling opportunity for our youth to grow, showcase their talents, and be part of a memorable adventure.
