High atop the cloud-kissing peaks of the state of Montana, where the wild grizzlies shake hands with the snowflakes, and the rivers run like glittering ribbons, some unbelievable magic takes place. Not the sort of magic spun by wand-waving wizards or pixie dust-sprinkling fairies, but the kind that sprouts from the hearts of young adventurers. Yes, I'm talking about the remarkable kids who put on their bravery boots and step into the world of theater and drama. Our tale might feature a character so wildly whimsical that only those with an imagination as vast as the Montana skies could create him. Let's call him Thespis the Thespian. Thespis, with his humor as immense as the Great Plains, could make a mountain chuckle and a river roar with laughter. No joke was too corny, no pun too painful for this dramatic daredevil. Under the watchful gaze of Thespis, the Montana kids don't just recite lines from a worn-out script. Oh, no! They transform into swaggering pirates, whispering willows, or even a unicorn who can only speak in riddles. They twirl and swirl, leap and creep, keeping the stage alive with their infectious energy. Their voices echo across the valleys, their laughter bounces off the mountains, and their performances could make even the oldest, grumpiest pine tree tap a root in time with the rhythm. As each curtain falls, the kids of Montana's theater and drama scene might be a little taller, a little braver, and much louder than before. They don't just create magic, they ARE the magic. As for Thespis, he winks, takes a bow, and disappears backstage, chuckling to himself, "That's Montana kids for you, never a dull moment!"
