Don’t miss your opportunity

2008-2009 Tour Season!

Not everyone gets through customs with skunks, cow bells, horsemen, castle walls and strange looking wax scars in tow. But the Montana-based Missoula Children’s Theatre http://www.mctinc.org company has done just that as it takes on the challenge of getting a Limerick, Ireland city school ready in just four days to host its own musical.

“I think MCT is one of the best and most easily exported artistic products we have in Montana,” said Sutton. “They already have extensive experience traveling overseas, and so this made sense as a way to really help them expand their business model and find more diverse income streams.”

"The Little Red Truck," http://www.thelittleredtruck.com is a full-length feature documentary film from Missoula-based Tree and Sky Media Arts. In brief; when a little red truck from the Missoula Children’s Theatre http://www.mctinc.org pulls into town, sixty local kids take on an impossible task – to stage a full-scale musical in just 6 days. This week will change them forever.

J.K. Simmons, of Spider-man and Juno fame and a participant in the film, plans to attend the Saturday screening.

A beautiful movie, timeless, one that will end up on top of your DVD collection.

"Nobody likes me because I smell like feet.”

“The Little Red Truck” – so named because of MCT’s fleet of 42 red pickups that tour the world – takes the viewer on a five-city journey to towns big and small, with children as diverse as the country itself.

The focus of the MCT residency – to provide a professionally guided theatre experience for 50-60 local children in communities throughout the world will remain the same as it has been for 34 years, “But now… “ as MCT Co-founder Don Collins points out: “we have the opportunity to place an important family public awareness issue in the spotlight as well.”
