This program invites kids ages 7 to 14 to join the Missoula Children’s Theatre tour team for a week-long spring break camp. The tour team will arrive in town with a set, lights, costumes, props, make-up and everything it takes to put on a play…except the cast, to present their twist on the classic fairy tale, Sleeping Beauty!
