Missoula Children's Theatre
The Red Truck Tour
~ One Week Midland summer Residency ~
The Red Truck Tour is theatre magic on wheels! Professional directors arrive with everything needed for a full production - except the cast. Local students (1st-12th grade) audition on Monday and perform on our historic stage by the end of the week. No experience required, no cost, and every child who auditions gets a role!
At The Midland Theatre, we believe the arts are a human right. The Red Truck Tour gives local kids the chance to build confidence, make lifelong memories, and discover their voice on the same stage where stars have shined since 1928.
During the week, they rehearse, learn choreography, become characters, and bond as a company. Shy kids find their voices. First-timers discover hidden talents. New friendships form under the stage lights. Performance night arrives, and these young actors and actresses are taking our historic stage like seasoned pros, many for the first time. Applause erupts from family and friends.
It's the ultimate summer adventure—a week of pure joy, confidence-building, and theatrical magic that proves anything is possible when you say YES!
Proudly Presented by: The Constance C. Baldwin Fund of the Licking County Foundation and The Ohio Arts Council
