Join us to watch a performance or share the spotlight!

The Kate is dedicated to bringing quality arts and culture to patrons of all ages, but special care is given to our youngest audience members. Children build skill, confidence, and appreciation for the arts during summer and after school sessions of Kate’s Camp for Kids. Tweens ages 11 to 13 will write an original, one-act musical play to be performed live on stage at the Kate in Summer Spotlight! Families can enjoy a great afternoon of theater specifically designed for young viewers in the Children’s Series. Young thespians take the stage during residencies by Missoula Children’s Theatre which produces a fun, high energy musical on the Kate stage twice a year.

Whether it’s in the audience or on the stage, an adventure awaits at the Kate!
