Columbia Center for the Arts is thrilled to welcome Missoula Children's Theatre back to town for an unforgettable week of creativity, teamwork, and live performance! In just five days, local youth will audition, rehearse, and perform their very own production of Wiz of the West — a foot-stompin', tale-spinnin' twist on a beloved classic. This is your child's chance to step into the spotlight and make memories that'll last a lifetime. WHO CAN PARTICIPATE

Open to youth entering grades 1–8 — no experience necessary! Missoula Children's Theatre's professional teaching artists handle everything, guiding your young performers from audition to final bow. Maximum cast size is 60–70 youth.

COST

There is no cost to participate in the summer camp. However, families will need to purchase tickets to the final performance. Ticket sales support our youth programs and help bring more experiences like this to youth in our community.
