Missoula Children's Theatre

Merlo is one of 94 tour directors who will travel across the United States and overseas, as far away as U.S. military bases in South Korea and Turkey, this summer on Missoula Children’s Theatre’s http://www.mctinc.org/ international tour.

The Missoula Children’s Theatre International Tour is commissioned by schools and communities around the world to deliver a live performance to local children.

"The Missoula Children’s Theatre and Forest Service partnership is a natural fit because so many of our important initiatives to encourage children to discover and understand the natural world while developing healthy lifestyles," said Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell http://www.fs.fed.us/aboutus/chief/ . "I look forward to watching this fun show and see our local kids learn about nature."

We may look, live, or learn differently, but when we work together we can make unforgettable things happen.

They’re all part of the exciting Missoula Community Theater Program this season and you can attend all of them along with She Loves Me and Once Upon A Mattress.

Here at MCT, for these people who come through our doors, it’s a passion and they’re finding time to make it happen as a community member. The kids that come to the summer camp, they came and paid because that’s what they want to do.

"That’s one of the major reasons I decided to come back and what excited me about it."

"It’s been one of the most wonderful experiences of my life, I’m really bummed that this is my last year, but one of the great things about MCT is you can stay involved for the rest of your life, coming back as a counselor, touring, that kind of thing," Diawara said.

Again, thank you to the people of Missoula that make this possible and share it with the rest of us and the world.

Why not bring in students from all over the world and give the local economy a much-needed boost?

With the right development and marketing, education, sold as an export, could grow to become one of the United States’ highest earners.
