Oneida County 4-H is partnering with the Missoula Children’s Theatre to offer youth entering grades 1-12 an opportunity to participate in a one-week, live performing arts opportunity at Rhinelander High School. Two professional actor/directors will come to Rhinelander for one week to direct a full-scale musical starring up to 60 local school-aged children. The cost to participate in the Youth Summer Theater Program is $40/participant. This year’s musical production is “Treasure Island.” The show is rehearsed throughout the week and one public performance will be presented at 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 22, at Rhinelander High School. The performance is free to attend for the general public, although donations are appreciated. Sponsors include Oneida County 4-H (the presenting organization), UW-Extension Oneida County, Rhinelander Community Foundation, Northern Arts Council and Culver’s of Rhinelander.
