The theatre...
Monday, October 13, 2008
When The LuCille Tack Center for the Arts was in its infancy, a very special group of people had a dream. They made it the mission of the Center "To provide an environment that encourages a variety of opportunities to enlighten, enrich and develop artistic growth for community members of all ages." Over ten years later they have held fast to that mission and have touched many lives in the community by giving them the opportunity to release their artistic energy in plays and musicals presented by the LuCille Tack Center. The young and the old alike are given the opportunity to perform in the "Our Front Porch Series" which is a component of the Tack Center's performance season that showcases local talent in many different forms.
The Tack Center has presented many community-cast shows including the annual event, Missoula Children's Theatre. Classic children's tales have been brought to life by local children including Cinderella, Robin Hood, and Alice in Wonderland. This season the timeless tale of Red Riding Hood will be presented in two shows on April 18, 2009. Missoula Children's Theatre provides fun for the whole family and is a great way to encourage young children to get involved in positive after-school activities. Actor Pierce Brosnan once said "Acting allows me to explore new worlds, to discover characters by delving into their lives, and ultimately to become someone else entirely." Giving a child the opportunity to use their imagination and release creative energy leaves the child, and the parents happy.
The LuCille Tack Center doesn't want to leave the adults out of the fun, so they host an annual school-community musical production that requires the talent of community members with many varied gifts. Lighting and sound technicians, musicians, stage hands, set, and costume designers are all people we don't necessarily think of when we think of a musical production but they are all just as important as the actors themselves. These shows bring people together, create friendships, and can be a great family activity. This season, Oliver! - the unforgettable tale of an orphan turned pickpocket, will be presented in three shows on November 7th, 8th, and 9th. Come and support the local talent, check out the show and who knows... next year it might be you in the spotlight!
