King Arthur’s Quest


What an adventure! Isaac and Ashton had parts in the local production of King Arthur’s Quest this week. These are some of the photos taken by Skyler of the Saturday evening show.

Our local arts commission brings in a two-person team from the Missoula Children’s Theater. Auditions are on Monday after school. Rehearsals start Tuesday and the week ends Saturday with two performances.

Ashton was selected to play the ghost of Uther Pendragon (King Arthur’s father) — one of the main parts that included some speaking lines and lots of screaming to go along with his haunting. He practiced from 4:00-8:30 every day.

It was a lot of fun to see Ashton running, jumping, and haunting the stage. We’ve long suspected that “drama” is Ashton's calling in life — this just proves our point. I think he really enjoyed the production and is looking forward to other opportunities to try acting.

Isaac was part of the “mini” cast. These younger actors came on stage when the giant and the dragon appeared to help these villains look larger than life. It's a cute concept. Isaac's one line was “Yes!”.
