Alice, played by Torie Joseph, tries to get directions to the royal croquet match, but the Mad Hatter, played by Tommy Simoneaux, the Dormouse played by Conlin Robinson, the March Hare played by Imon Howard and the White Rabbit, played by Shelby Coleman are sidetracked by a conversation about tea and sugar during a 2017 Missoula Children’s Theatre Workshop at Ascension of Our Lord School.

Children of all ages and experience levels are invited to learn more about the theater and prepare two performances for local audiences.

St. John Theatre is offering the opportunity as part of its 2018 summer children’s programming series by hosting the  Missoula’s Children’s Theatre for a week-long workshop starting July 30.

All children from kindergarten through 12th grade are welcome to participate in the workshop, which runs from 9 a.m. to noon through Aug. 3 and concludes with performances at 2:30 and 7 p.m. on Aug. 4. Missoula’s Children’s Theatre is presenting a musical adaptation of Blackbeard the Pirate.

The cost of the workshop is $50 per child.
