and will visit more than 1,200 communities this year with 32 teams of Tour
Actor/Directors. A tour team arrives in a given town with a set, lights,
costumes, props and make-up, everything it takes to put on a play...except the
cast. The team holds an open audition and casts 50-60 local students to perform
in the production. The show is rehearsed throughout the week and two public
performances are presented on Saturday. All MCT shows are original adaptations
of classic children’s stories and fairytales . . . a <i><span

and love. <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>Also included in the
residency are three enrichment workshops presented by the Tour Actor/Directors
in school classrooms. </span></b> Creativity, social skills, goal
achievement, communication skills and self-esteem are all characteristics that
are attained through the participation in this unique, educational
project. MCT's mission is <i><span style='font-style:italic'>the
development of lifeskills in children through participation in the performing
