Missoula Children’s Theatre: Magic Happens When Kids Do Theater

Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT) introduces kids around the country to the wonders of performing. MCT’s little red truck arrives and is fully loaded: from script to costumes to sets. The only thing they need is the cast–which they find in the local children. One week later, these kids come together and perform an original 60-minute musical production for their community. This public art performance does something magical not just for the children but for their parents, teachers and neighbors. MCT Executive Drector Michael McGill takes us through how the company turns community into art.
