FREE THEATRE WORKSHOPS
The free workshops included in Missoula Children’s Theatre Camp give kids a chance to hone their acting skills, learn about backstage work, such as stage makeup, and enhance their stage presence. These are free and open to all kids – even if they are not attending camp.
All workshops start at 3:00pm on their assigned days (see below for more information).

Makeup is the foundation and the most basic visual image for all performers. This workshop teaches students of all ages by demonstrating (on a few participants) character and special effects makeup for the theatre.
