Auditions took place on Monday; rehearsals were held throughout the week; and the show was performed twice for the public on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>But the cast and crew managed to make it look easy. Missoula Children\u2019s Theatre is a touring theater company that brings all the elements of a blockbuster show to schools throughout the country. This includes two directors, a truckload of sets and costumes, and more. Their week-long residence was sponsored by the Friends of Pacific Beach Secondary Schools (FOPBSS) and has quickly become a favorite annual tradition at PBMS.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_318947\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-318947\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-318947 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230120162613\/PBMS-King-Arthurs-Quest_January2023-300x225.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230120162613\/PBMS-King-Arthurs-Quest_January2023-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230120162613\/PBMS-King-Arthurs-Quest_January2023-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230120162613\/PBMS-King-Arthurs-Quest_January2023-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230120162613\/PBMS-King-Arthurs-Quest_January2023-1536x1152.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230120162613\/PBMS-King-Arthurs-Quest_January2023-16x12.jpeg 16w, https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230120162613\/PBMS-King-Arthurs-Quest_January2023-750x563.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/cdn.sdnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/20230120162613\/PBMS-King-Arthurs-Quest_January2023-1140x855.jpeg 1140w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/225;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-318947\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Student actors from Pacific Beach Middle School showcased their medieval acting chops in a rousing production of \u2018King Arthur\u2019s Quest.\u2019<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cI love Missoula Children\u2019s Theatre because it helps me develop my acting skills,\u201d said seventh-grade student Alarycia C, who was cast as the Lady in the Lake in the show. \u201cActing allows me to get out of my shell and express myself differently.
