About
The Missoula Children’s Theatre Youth Series is part of the Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT) programming, which includes the Red Truck Tour, Local Youth Series, Local Community Series, and live theatrical productions. MCT describes its live productions as entertaining, educational, and enriching experiences for both performers and audiences.
Missoula Children’s Theatre was created in 1970 by co-founders Jim Caron and Don Collins. The organization states that it is an arts organization committed to serving youth and adults with quality and accessible performing arts programming. Its mission is “Empowering children and adults through theatre education and performance to develop lifelong skills while enriching communities worldwide through live productions.” MCT reports that it visits nearly 1,100 communities around the world each year, including all 50 US states and 16 different countries, and that its Red Truck Tour is recognized as the world’s largest touring children’s theatre of its kind and is described as its largest, most far-reaching, and most important program. MCT emphasizes that the arts play a crucial role in the health and well-being of communities, highlights values of access to arts experiences, excellence, and the universal desire to connect to others, and states that diversity and inclusion are catalysts for meaningful change and that it advocates for equality, justice, and equity.
One local guide described MCT as “a beautiful theatre with tons of camps, workshops, and performance opportunities for children and adults.” Another testimonial from 108 Mile Ranch in British Columbia reported that attendees were impressed with a show and how the students performed after rehearsing for only one week, and that many students and parents asked when MCT could come back again.
