Missoula Children’s Theatre Camp Presents: The Tortoise vs. the Hare 

This is a week-long theatre camp held at The Brock, where students attend daily from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Throughout the week, the Missoula Children's Theatre puts a playful twist on the classic fable as Taylor Tortoise and Curly Hare turn friendly competition into outrageous adventures. Along the way, they and the colorful characters around them discover that perseverance, cooperation, and friendship matter more than winning the race, as campers rehearse, build confidence, and prepare for a fully staged public performance at the end of the week.
