The Rep Roundup
WHAT'S NEW
Two plays down and more to come! Despite the many hurdles we’ve faced due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Rep’s 20-21 season is off to an exciting start with the successful productions of Zombie Thoughts and The Fog.
 
As you probably know, safety has been our top priority this season, and we’re so grateful for all of the creativity and hard work that allows us to deliver professional theatre from 6+ feet away. Our Educational OutReach play, Zombie Thoughts, kicked off with a socially distanced outdoor screening at Ogren Park at Allegiance Field. Our first Plays on Tap production of the season, The Fog, brought playgoers to the fire tower at Fort Missoula for a one-of-a-kind live theatre experience. We want to thank each and every one of you that joined us for these productions, and we can’t wait to show you what’s next.
WATCH ZOMBIE THOUGHTS
If you didn’t get the chance to catch Zombie Thoughts on its big outdoor premiere at Ogren Park, never fear. We’re doing things a little different this time—we're going digital rather than traveling around the state and performing our Educational OutReach play in Montana schools, libraries and community centers.
 
Montana educators and parents are invited to watch Zombie Thoughts for free with their students and children online by requesting an online access code at MontanaRepZombieThoughts.com. Live theatre meets interactive video game as kids guide Sam (who has anxiety) and Pig (who is punny) in the play, and the only path to victory is through a series of choices that help Sam and Pig learn empathy for each other. This delightfully funny choose-your-own-path play, produced in cooperation with the United Way of Missoula County and Project Tomorrow Montana, speaks to kids about the effects of and offers them ways to cope with generalized anxiety.
DONATE
The start of our 20-21 season has been incredible, and we want to keep up that momentum. Like so many others, the arts community in Missoula is still feeling the effects of the pandemic and could use some extra help. Your donation to the Rep allows us to keep working hard and delivering professional theatre throughout Montana.
COVID-19 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Our top priority is safety, and the wellbeing of our actors, staff, playgoers and community members. That means a few things:

Our live performances will have limited seating to allow for social distancing, so reserving tickets in advance is the only way to ensure a spot for each play.

Things can change rapidly due to COVID-19, so we have created a virtual backup plan for each play in order to pivot as needed. Our backup plans even have a backup plan.

Some shows will include a ‘watch-from-home’ live-stream option for our patrons who aren’t ready to join us in person.

Your support is more important than ever! The pandemic has taken its toll on the arts community, but we won’t stop working to bring professional theater and powerful stories to the state of Montana. We know you will love the season we have planned, and we can make these plays a reality when our community stands behind us. Which brings us to the most important part…become a member!
