"Enriching Youth Through The Arts"

Missouri River Youth Theatre is a non-profit organization that depends mainly on the support of individuals, businesses and civic organizations to provide us with the financial support necessary to maintain an ongoing program of workshops and theatrical productions for the youth in the mid-Missouri area.
However, if it were not for the countless hours of our devoted volunteers, Missouri River Youth Theatre would not be able to offer the excitement of live theatre to the youth who make up our casts or to our enthusiastic audiences.
We thank each and every person who has helped to keep our youth programs running smoothly!

There are so many ways you can help out! Check out the list below and call or email us and let us know where you think you might fit in!
