With bright pink and blue panels from a recent play in the background, three eager groups of youngsters sat down on the stage at the Village Arts Center July 19 for their first day of play practice.
Actor-Directors Garrett Gagnon and Jessica Hamilton were in town with the Missoula Children’s Theater.
In one week, Gagnon, Hamilton and the young actors would transform the stage to an orchard for a production of “Johnny Appleseed.” The cast would perform the play July 23 and 24.
