Pickerington Community Theatre — Theatre. Family. Fun.
This June, Pickerington Community Theatre will host Missoula Children’s Theatre for a weeklong theatre camp for children entering 1st grade through 12th grade!
Camp dates are June 24 through 29, 2019. The weeklong camp begins with an open group audition (Monday) and culminates in two public performances (Saturday at 3:00 PM and 5:30 PM). Fifty to sixty students are cast and well-rehearsed throughout the week, learning lines, songs, and choreography to perform as an ensemble in producing a full-length musical. All of MCT’s shows are original adaptations of children’s stories and fairytales–a twist on the classic stories that we all know and love!
This year, PCT will present MCT’s take on the classic Jack and the Beanstalk!
Participation in the camp will cost $120.00 for the first child from a family. Each additional child within the immediate family can participate for a reduced price of $100.00. The cost includes camp registration and a camp t-shirt. Camp will run 10:00 AM through 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday. The kids will have a 30 minute lunch break each day, so make sure to pack and send lunch with your camper. On Saturday, campers will attend from 12:00 PM through the final performance.
The camp and performances will be held at Epiphany Lutheran Church (268 Hill Road North, Pickerington, Ohio 43147).
Registration is now CLOSED for the 2019 Missoula Children’s Theatre camp! Thanks to everyone who signed up and check back here soon for your chance to purchase tickets for our performances!

PCT is excited to announce audition information for its Fall 2019 production of Big Fish!
Based on the celebrated novel by Daniel Wallace and the acclaimed film directed by Tim Burton, Big Fish tells the story of Edward Bloom, a traveling salesman who lives life to its fullest…and then some! Edward’s incredible, larger-than-life stories thrill everyone around him—most of all, his devoted wife Sandra. But their son Will, about to have a child of his own, is determined to find the truth behind his father’s epic tales. Overflowing with heart and humor, Big Fish is an extraordinary musical that reminds us why we love going to the theater—for an experience that’s richer, funnier and bigger than life itself.
Auditions will be held at Epiphany Lutheran Church (268 Hill Road North, Pickerington, Ohio 43147).
The production will be directed by Damon Barnett.
Please choose one of the following audition dates:
Friday, August 2, 2019 – 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Tentative Rehearsal Schedule:
Friday evenings
Saturdays – 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Sundays – 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM
Rehearsals are scheduled so that only specific cast members are needed depending on what is being rehearsed.
The audition process has some very simple steps:
1) You will be asked to fill out an audition form. Audition forms will be available at auditions or you can click HERE to download a fillable PDF that you can complete ahead of time and bring with you. You may attach a resume and picture to your audition form if you wish but it is not required. Please bring a calendar that includes conflicts.
2) You will have your picture taken and a number will be assigned to you.
3) Be prepared to sing part of a song of your choice (no more than a minute long). A piano is available for use. Acapella singing or recorded accompaniment is also fine. Please choose age appropriate music. A Broadway song is preferable. Please do not sing a song from Big Fish.
4) If seeking a speaking role, please be prepared to stay for cold readings from the script. There are many videos of this show online for you to check various characters.
5) We will have a simple dance audition (performed in small groups). We are also looking for featured dancers. For chorus roles we only need to see basic movement.
You will receive a phone call Saturday evening, August 3, 2019 if you have been called back for a lead role. If you are not called back this does not mean you will not be cast nor does it mean you will not have a speaking role (as there are many named roles). Final cast list will be sent via email by Wednesday evening, August 7, 2019 and posted on our website.
