Calico Theatre Camp
New this year! The Calico Children’s Theatre will partner in June of 2012 with the Missoula Children’s Theatre to provide a fun and engaging theatre camp. MCT is the premier internationally-renowned touring children’s theatre program whose mission is to provide the development of life skills through participation in the performing arts. Scripts are structured specifically for the Tour’s short rehearsal period, and recognize the needs of the individual child. Major roles are large, complex and challenging; ensemble parts emphasize unison songs, actions and movements. There is an audition process. Every child selected to be a camper gets a part!
