MT Shakes!
The Roosevelt Center brings in the incredible cast from Montana Shakespeare in the Parks to Red Lodge to give free performances and workshops to Carbon County students.
Admins and teachers bus their students to the Roosevelt Center and they are treated to the delight of a live theater performance.
In March, we hosted several schools, about 300 kids, for Montana Shakes.
