The Montana Premiere Project Presented by Anaconda Ensemble Theatre will run at the Forge Theatre from February 24th - 26th.
This night of three new short plays will feature Wife by Shaun Gant of Missoula, Landering Truth by Robert Holter of Helena and That's What She Said by Cynthia Webb, also of Helena. This show is directed/produced by Jackie Vetter of Anaconda and is supported by the Montana Playwrights Network. The Montana Premiere project is a state-wide project focused on new plays by Montana playwrights. This year there are four sites for these premiere projects, including Lewistown, Helena, Billings, and Anaconda.
The new plays being produced all center around women and their voices, if and when they are heard and how they are perceived (or misunderstood), and if those voices get them in “trouble” by usual standards. Due to language and content, the shows are intended for ages 16 and up. The show features 18 professional and amateur actors from Butte, Anaconda, Deer Lodge, and Dewey, ages 11 to adult.
Tickets are $20/person for performances on February 24th at 7 pm, February 25th at 2 pm, February 25th at 7 pm, and February 26th at 2 pm (there is a talkback after the 2 pm shows on Feb 25th). The Forge Hotel is located at 100 Union Ave in Anaconda, MT. The entrance and parking are at the back of the building.
