I highly recommend the Missoula Children's Theatre Project.

Missoula is a small town in Montana known for its progressive attitudes and strong support of the arts. Each year the Missoula Theatre sends dozens of theatre pros out to more than 50 towns and cities around the country where, using only local kids in the cast, they create high quality, full length musical productions - all in just one week.

The show at One World last year was excellent so I would expect this one to be good as well.

Beauty Lou & The Country Beast - Sat Jun 13 - Noon- One World Theatre - Participants in the Missoula Children's Theatre Camp present this original country-western adaptation of the classic fairy tale, Beauty & The Beast. Cost - $12 Adult, $9 Children

Also, watch for their program at the PARAMOUNT a bit later in the summer.
