Behind the curtain

Student actors at Lake Roosevelt Schools wait behind the curtain for their turn to go on as their colleagues perform in front of an audience last weekend. They were cast March 14 by the Missoula Children's Theatre for "The Emperor's New Clothes", then rehearsed after school during the week to put the play on in just a few days. MCT was contracted for the event by the Grand Coulee Dam PTA, supported by local businesses and donors. - Rebecca Hunt photo
