The Little Red Truck

Imagine sixty kids staging a full-scale musical in six days. "The Little Red Truck," a new, award-winning documentary film, records the emotional highs, lows and in-betweens of more than 250 kids in five communities when Missoula Children's Theatre, via its signature little red truck, comes to town.

It's magic and mayhem captured through the lens as the kids, under the direction of the two professional tour actor/directors who come with the touring truck, audition, rehearse, mess up, have the occasional meltdown, overcome personal obstacles, jump for joy, don costumes, and eventually grace the stage for a one-hour performance. But more than that, it's a laugh-out-loud and uplifting movie that's perfect for everyone.

“The cutest thing in the history of cuteness...it would take a superhuman capacity for cynicism to resist the radiant optimism of the Missoula Children’s Theater players and the unabashed pep of this joyful portrait.” (Nathan Lee, New York Times)
