This Callback, if needed, will help determine the best combination of actors for the cast, and those called will more than likely read and/or sing for specific roles. Not receiving an invitation to callbacks does not necessarily mean you will not be cast in the show.

The Ellen Theatre at 17 West Main Street in Downtown Bozeman. Please enter through the front doors of the building.

Rehearsals will begin:
The first week of October and are held Monday through Thursday evenings and Saturdays during the day. Evening rehearsals will begin at 6:30 PM and Saturdays at 10:00 AM. On school nights, we work with the children first so they may be dissmised as early as possible.  PLEASE NOTE: For the month of October and first two weeks of November, not everyone is called to every rehearsal.
