Connie Doss has helped bring the theatre to life for dozens of local children. She has organized the local week-long traveling summer workshop of the Missoula Children's Theatre for the past two years and participated in it for years before as a parent. "I like the way they do things," she said, referring to the two-person teaching teams sent nationwide by the Missoula program. "Sometimes they pick the shy kids, the ones who don't stand out. They bring all the kids together to grow and learn." She is already beginning preparations for next summer's program. We wish her success!
