Missoula Children's Theatre's production of
The Secret Garden

The Secret Garden, an original Missoula Children’s Theatre rendition, is a joyful retelling of a story of hope and celebration and all good things in life. Mistress Mary Quite Contrary embarks on a journey from India to her uncle’s home in England. Along the way she makes friends with the hilarious Canadian Geese and the colorful Giant Bugs that Rock! In time she learns to appreciate everything around her, including the Moor Animals and the helpful Fireflies. Add to that a good healthy dose of caring, and what happens? Colin, Martha, Archibald - well the whole household - begin to enjoy the return of health and happiness in a garden carefully tended…until it blossoms once more.

Throughout its 40 year existence, the Missoula Children’s Theatre International Tour has fostered developmental life skills in more than a million kids. Just this year, we will work with 65,000 children in more than 1,200 communities in all 50 states and 17 countries. The Missoula Children’s Theatre relies on your generosity to close the gap between low tour fees and the actual cost of touring. If our program has had a positive impact on you or a family member, and you would like to help ensure this experience for future generations, please contact Development Director, Cate Sundeen at csundeen@mctinc.org.

Federal employees can now contribute through the 2012 Combined Federal Campaign using CFC code #20396.

Camp Encore 2013 tentative schedule and workshops

The Midland Theatre offers educational and fun workshops that complement Missoula Children's Theatre's (MCT) weeklong residency-with a focus on nurturing and inspiring young actors in our community.

WORKSHOPS

MCT – Drama Quest

This Primary level workshop uses role-playing to help students develop positive self-esteem, increase their communication skills and teach constructive group dynamics. Your students will have so much fun - they won’t realize that they’re learning!

Grades 1 – 2

MCT – What if?

This magic question allows elementary students to use their own creativity in a performance environment and encourages structure through imagination.

Grades 3 – 5

MCT – Acting Up

This informative workshop delves into the basics of the acting craft. Various exercises are used to ease inhibitions while allowing the participants to develop a working strategy for approaching a role.

Grades: 6 - 8

MCT – Let’s Makeup

Without the support of visual image, the most talented of actors can portray only a narrow spectrum of characters. Make-up is the foundation and the most basic visual image for all performers. This participatory workshop teaches students of all ages by demonstrating corrective, old age and fantasy make-up.

Grades: 1 -12

MIDLAND - IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK

Discover the historic roots of The Midland Theatre. This workshop takes you on an adventurous tour behind the scenes of the Midland Theatre! Be sure to dress comfortably.

Grades 1-12 Tailored according to age group
