Missoula Children’s Theatre co-founder Don Collins leaves ‘cultural footprint’ in Missoula and the world.

Before Missoula Children’s Theatre http://www.mctinc.org/ was a sprawling fleet of little red trucks crisscrossing the globe, it was a dream and a gambit by two young actors.

One of those, Jim Caron, retired in 2010.

Last week, the quieter partner in the theater’s genesis bade his farewell.

Co-founder Don Collins retires from MCT Inc. as its senior development officer, a behind-the-scenes position he’s held since 2004.

The Missoula native was majoring in applied voice and music education in 1972 when he auditioned for a play and met Caron, an English teacher who was passing through town when his vehicle broke down.
