Producer Pam Voth and director Rob Whitehair's heartwarming documentary charts the travels of the Missoula Children's Theatre Little Red Truck, a touring theater group that moves from city to city to put on productions cast with local kids. For over 30 years, MCT has moved from one U.S. town to the next, recruiting children from the area to join them in taking on the feat of mounting a full-scale, one-hour musical in one week's time.

Plot

Imagine sixty kids staging a full-scale musical in six days. The 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, learn teamwork, acceptance and commitment, jump for joy, don costumes, and eventually grace the stage for a one-hour performance.
