Tim Luoma

Member at Large

Tim’s love for community theatre began when he was cast in Center Stage’s production of South Pacific when he was 9 years old. He stayed active in theatre, performing as a tour actor/director with the Missoula Children’s Theatre and the Missoula Community Theatre, and with a professional career that brought him to several different theatres around the U.S. Tim heeded the siren song of Montana and returned to his hometown to settle and put down roots. Tim is thrilled to be working with such a passionate team to bring quality community theatre to Great Falls.
