ABOUT THE LITTLE MERMAID

Deep in the salty waters of the Sassafras Sea, there lived a Little Mermaid. Her name was Celia. She lived for music. In fact, it was said that she had the loveliest scales in all of the Deep. Celia and her three sisters were allowed one visit to the World Above, each on their sixteenth birthday, to learn the secrets of life on dry land. Their discoveries included ferocious dragons, advancing armies and, of course, a handsome and resourceful Prince Charming. In a new version of the age-old tale, lots of music, plot surprises and humor await the audience.

ABOUT MISSOULA CHILDREN’S THEATRE

Celebrating our 50th year of touring, the Missoula Children’s Theatre International Tour has fostered developmental life skills in more than a million kids. Prior to Covid, we worked with 65,000 children in more than 1,100 communities in all 50 states and 17 countries each year. Our reach is increasing once again, but like all performing arts organizations, Covid-19 has had a devastating impact on our budget. One of the many ways the Missoula Children’s Theatre remains vibrant is through generous donors all over the world. If you would like to help support MCT, GIVE online by visiting MCTinc.org or via text by texting “MCTGive” to 44321.

“Guess what? I made it…I’m in the play!”

On stage or behind the scenes, your children are STARS! We invite you to honor that experience with a “star” in the MCT Galaxy, located in MCT headquarters in Missoula, MT! To see a sample of the MCT Galaxy and learn more about this exciting way to celebrate your star and support MCT, search “galaxy” in the search bar on our website. Stars are only $50 and can be customized with a name, the memory you wish to commemorate, date and location.
