Missoula Children's Theatre
A non-profit organization deeply attuned to the important role the arts play in all communities. MCT, Inc. is an umbrella organization sitting atop two distinct yet connected programs: a community theatre production company (MISSOULA COMMUNITY THEATRE) and the world's largest touring children's theatre (MISSOULA CHILDREN'S THEATRE). Within our home community of Missoula, Montana, we are an arts organization committed to staging local productions, children's musicals, revues, showcases and operas. Across the country and throughout the world, we are recognized as the premiere group that brings performing arts opportunities to communities--most notably to kids--who might not otherwise have access to them. MISSOULA CHILDREN'S THEATRE It is through touring that we impact thousands of children annually. As many as 47 pairs of touring artists are on the road at a time. In a typical year, they cast more than 65,000 children, teach theatre workshops to 160,000-plus kids, and entertain a total audience of 750,000 people of all ages. At every stop, our teams cast local kids in a children's musical which is performed after just six days of rehearsal. MCT tours to nearly 1,200 communities annually within all 50 states, Canada, and overseas.In every location, our team of two professional actor/directors arrives with a set, lights, costumes, props, and makeup...everything it takes to put on a play--except the cast. MISSOULA COMMUNITY THEATRE As the community's theatre, we offer something for everyone in a five-show season that includes musicals, comedies, holiday shows, and dramas and runs autumn through late spring. All of our productions are professionally produced, directed, and designed in-house. Each production is fueled by the hundreds of volunteers, board members, donors, patrons, and others who comprise our passionate and invested community.
