Theatre Auditions
Robin Hood
The Missoula Children’s Theatre based out of Missoula, Montana is coming to Franklin, TN! The tour stops in Franklin on Monday, September 15. Two Missoula actors/directors will arrive with sets, costumes, makeup, scripts and music and it is up to Franklin’s young actors to help them put on two spectacular performances of Robin Hood on Saturday.
If your children can’t commit to an 8-week rehearsal schedule, the Missoula Children’s Theatre is the perfect solution.
AUDITIONS
Auditions for Missoula’s Children’s Theatre production of Robin Hood is open to children 5-18 years old (kindergarten-12th grade).
Auditions will be held Monday, September 15 at the Franklin Recreation Complex on Hillsboro Road in Franklin. Auditions will be from 4:00pm until 6:00pm. Children must arrive before 4:00pm and plan to stay until 6:00pm. Some cast members may be asked to stay past 6:00pm for the first rehearsal.

REHEARSALS
