Missoula Children’s Theater

 For almost 40 years, Missoula Children’s Theater has been entertaining families. MCT’s goal is to educate children and teens, develop life skills and a love for the performing arts.
                Jim Caron and Don Collins were the founders of Missoula Children’s Theater, but it wasn’t always about the kids. They first started casting kids as their actors when it seemed necessary: Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, and Hansel and Gretel. The Snow White performance was so popular that Miles City booked it for a performance. Jim and Don did not want to be responsible for driving seven kids 500 icy miles, so, they decided to audition kids in Miles City.

When 450 kids showed up for the audition, the traveling theater began. Excellent production and sold out shows began the fame across Montana for MCT.
                Missoula Children’s Theater still continues to grow, reaching out to small towns and large. For more information on Missoula Children’s Theater, visit http://www.mctinc.org/index.php.
