West Side Stories at PKCT!
Everyone has a story and now it’s your chance to tell it. Every month there is a theme, hopefully that sparks a memory for you. You put your name in a hat (an actual hat!) and 10 people’s names are drawn at random. When your name is pulled you get 5 minutes to tell your personal true story. At the end of the evening everyone votes by text for their favorite story of the night. If that’s you, you get $50 and will join the other monthly winners in December for our GrandSlam at the Historic Mystic Theater. Sounds like fun, right?

The Jungle Book - By Missoula Children's Theater - 2/28 @ 2pm
2026-02-28 14:00 - 15:30
PKF & PKCT in association with Missoula Children’s Theater present:
THE JUNGLE BOOK
Adapted by Michael McGill
Music and Lyrics by Michael McGill
Ever been abandoned in the jungle, adopted by wolves, taught by a bear, befriended by a panther and chased by a tiger? In the Missoula Children’s Theatre musical adaptation of THE JUNGLE BOOK, Mowgli the man-cub has all these adventures and more. Join him as he escapes from the Bander-log, outwits a tiger, enlists the help of a rock-python, explores what it means to be human and learns a lesson from the brave mongoose Rikki-Tikki-Tavi. Original music and rollicking humor give new life to the classic tale by Rudyard Kipling.
Three shows are scheduled: 2/27 at 7pm and 2/28 at 2pm and 5:30pm. Get your tickets now to see local kids put on an amazing performance of this classic; all auditioned, rehearsed, produced, and presented in just one week!
Celebrating over 50 years of touring, the Missoula Children’s Theatre International Tour has fostered developmental life skills in more than a million kids. Our tour reaches 65,000 children in more than 1,000 communities in all 50 states and 15+ countries each year. One of the many ways the Missoula Children’s Theatre remains vibrant is through generous donors all over the world.
