Three of America's best playwrights have gathered forces bringing their talents to Missoula for this special presentation. All three have been major contributors to The Missoula Colony, A Gathering of Artists in Support of the Writer’s Craft. Between these three playwrights, over thirty-three plays or screenplays have been developed at The Colony, with several going on to full production.

James McLure has long been considered one of the country's finest playwrights. From Lone Star and Laundry & Bourbon to Private Wars, not a day goes by that a play by Mr. McLure is not being produced.

Roger Hedden has had three independent films produced: Bodies, Rest & Motion; Sleep with Me; and Hi-Life (directed by Mr. Hedden). The play version of Bodies, Rest & Motion was premiered at Lincoln Center in New York City. Mr. Hedden's plays have also been successfully produced Off-Broadway and in regional theatres across the country.

Ron Fitzgerald—currently writing for Friday Night Lights and a former writer for Weeds—has had his play Cyclone successfully produced Off-Broadway.

See you soon––thank you for supporting live theatre!

Waiting for Lefty / by Clifford Odets / Directed by Chris Evans
Crystal Theatre / September 22-26, 29-October 3, 2009
This series of vignettes deals with the labor strife of the 1930s, when workers began to organize and fight for their fair share of the American promise—a struggle that continues to this day. Learn why this play has a special resonance for Greg Johnson, artistic director of Montana Repertory Theatre.

Fully Committed / by Becky Mode / Directed by David Mills-Low
Crystal Theatre / November 10-14, 17-21, 2009
Becky Mode's hysterically funny Fully Committed depicts a day in the working life of a harried reservations clerk at a pretentious restaurant. Lightning-fast timing and a variety of engaging characters—all played by one actor—provide comic insight into workplace politics.

Glengarry Glen Ross / by David Mamet / Directed by Michael Murphy
Crystal Theatre / February 23-27, March 2-6, 2010
This scathing look at the real estate industry has become an American classic, ranking with Death of a Salesman and Curse of the Starving Class as one of the most brilliant critiques of the American Dream.
