We had such a blast with Back to School, and now we’re eager to kick off our next performance of the season. Like so much of what we do, Hearth isn’t a traditional play—it’s part concert, part reading, part musical and part new play development. We commissioned local writer and musician Tyson Gerhardt to write a play that could become a Missoula holiday tradition and he's woven together a story of hope, childhood rebellion and the capacity for both wonder and cruelty in the world. We’ll be trying out his words and incredible songs on Missoula audiences this December.
After each performance, we’ll hold a short post-show conversation to gather your thoughts on the play. Tyson and the creative team will take what they learn from audiences each night and make changes they’ll incorporate the next night, so no two performances will be exactly the same.
Our hope is that, with your help and feedback, Hearth will start this winter as a developmental workshop/reading and grow to a full production in our ’22-’23 season.
Tickets go on sale in November, and we really are excited to roll this one out for Missoula—hope to see you all there!
