Students participate in week-long theater camp

Feb. 19, 2025 /  Chiloquin Elementary students performed Alice in Wonderland on stage for classmates and family members last week following a week-long Missoula Children's Theatre camp. Students auditioned on Feb. 10 for roles in the theatre’s production of “Alice in Wonderland.” Sixty-four students earned roles and then practiced all week for two performances on Friday (Feb. 14) – one at 12:30 p.m. for their classmates and a second evening performance at 5:30 p.m. for their families and community.

The performance was on the stage in the school’s gym. Colorful costumes, music, songs, and dialogue challenged the young actors and entertained the audience.
