Jungle BookLocated along the North Adams Street in Missoula, the Missoula Community Theatre is the presenter of the most stupendous theatre productions in the entire Montana. The community theatre emerged as the fruition of partnership between Jim Caron and Don Collins that started in 1970. The two started with a group of adult performing plays for children in a local movie theatre and eventually succeeded to launch today’s Missoula Community Theatre which makes tours to different parts of the United States as well as in international level.

Remaining open from fall to spring, Missoula Community Theatre generates no less than five dazzling theatre productions every single year. The community theatre is most popular for its musical theatre shows. Most of its shows are musical theatres and visitors get their tickets booked weeks ago so that they don’t miss them, especially in the premiere nights of each production.

However, the community theatre isn’t entirely focused on making musical plays. It also initiates a non-musical drama or a comedy every season. In collaboration with the University of Montana, Missoula Community Theatre generates an opera once in every two years.

Every year, more than fifteen thousand audiences are entertained at Missoula Community Theatre. The community theatre attempts to eradicate any obstructions with audience. That is why, it keeps facilities for audience with special needs such as wheelchair seats, assistive listening devices, large print programs, sign language interpreted performance, Braille programs, etc.

The community theatre hosts three Performing Arts Camps for students in different locations of Western Montana ranging up to a couple of weeks in duration. Those who visit Missoula in any time between Fall to Spring must at least watch a performance at Missoula Community Theatre to assure themselves that they haven’t missed something sensational in Missoula.
