Missoula Children's Theatre: Hercules Presented by the University Concert Series Saturday, April 5, 2025 Missouri Theatre Buy Tickets 6 PM$15 Adults/ $10 Children Under 12 Welcome to Ancient Greece, where the focus is on the big tournament! 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.
