A little red truck  pulls into your town with everything it takes to mount a full-scale musical production...except the cast. That's where the children of your community come in. On Monday, they're cast as characters. By Saturday, they've gained character -           the kind that really counts.

Missoula Children's Theatre provides a week-long residency "starring" 50-60 of your  local students in a full-scale musical.  MCT has been touring now for more than 30 years, visiting nearly 1100 communities annually in all 50 states, 4 Canadian Provinces and overseas.  Our mission is the development of lifeskills in children through participation in the performing arts.  Creativity, social skills, goal achievement, communication skills and self-esteem are all characteristics that are attained through the participation in this unique and educational project.  Our team of two professional Tour Actor/Directors arrives in your town with scenery, costumes, props, make-up and basic lighting... everything it takes to put on a play - except, the cast.  This week-long residency begins with an open group audition and culminates in two public performances.  Fifty to sixty students grades K-12, or a combination of these ages, 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 our shows are original adaptations of children's stories and fairytales... a twist on the classic stories that you know and love.

We provide year-round touring and our fees are based on region.  The fee includes an open audition, intensive rehearsals, two public performances (you keep the proceeds from all ticket sales) and three enrichment workshops.  Additional performances may be purchased.  To learn more about our Residency Week Basics - click here!
