Missoula Children’s Theatre
Every year, the Emporia Arts Council proudly hosts the Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT), a nationally renowned program dedicated to developing life skills through the magic of live theatre.
MCT rolls into Emporia with everything needed for a full-scale musical production—professionally designed sets, vibrant costumes, detailed props, and theatrical makeup. The only missing piece? The cast! That’s where our talented local youth step into the spotlight.
In just one incredible week, over 50 aspiring young performers audition, rehearse, and bring an original musical to life, culminating in an unforgettable public performance. It’s an exciting opportunity for kids to build confidence, creativity, and teamwork—while having a blast on stage!
