The Albion Area Arts Council has continued plans to welcome the Missoula Children’s Theatre back to Albion June 15–20 with this year’s production of “The Emperor’s New Clothes!” All students who have completed Kindergarten through the 12th grade are invited to audition and participate in the week-long theatre training and play at the end of the week with a number of performances. “With 50–60 roles available, this is a wonderful opportunity for local youth to gain confidence, make new friends, and experience the magic of live theatre!” Auditions will be held on Monday, June 15, with registration starting at 11:30 a.m.
