The Olympic Games are starting soon\, and the Cyclopes and Titans are both expecting to win big in the games. But the tournament can’t start without Hercules. Will the legendary strongman of the ancient world spark the flame and start the festivities on time\, or will his legendary tardiness get in the way of the games? Join us for a tale the scholars will talk about for ages as mythical creatures and Olympians alike share in a friendly competition. Along the way\, we may just learn that true strength lies not in our muscles but in our character. \nAbout Missoula Children’s Theatre \nThe Missoula Children’s Theatre (MCT)\, the nation’s largest touring children’s theatre\, has been touring extensively for more than 50 years now from Montana to Japan\, and will visit nearly 1\,000 communities this year with up to 44 teams of Tour Actor/Directors.
