The United Methodist Church and the Clinton Arts Council invite students who have completed kindergarten through graduating seniors 2022 to try out for one of the 50 parts in the musical play "Hansel & Gretel.”  Auditions will be held on Monday, July 18, from 10 a.m. to 12 noon at the United Methodist Church gym. 

Auditions begin promptly at 10 a.m.  All students must stay the entire two hours with some cast members remaining until 2:30 to begin rehearsal.  "Hansel & Gretel" is being presented by Missoula (Montana) Children's Theatre with no cost for the student to participate.  No advanced preparation is required, just show up with a smile!  Remember, this is an audition and there is no guarantee that everyone who auditions will be cast in the play.  Students chosen for parts should be prepared to be present all week from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. for rehearsals.   

The play will be presented on Saturday, July 23, at 3 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. at the Clinton High School Performing Arts Center. Admission to the performance will be $5.00 for adults and $3.00 for students.
