With incredible support from The Roy Cockrum Foundation, and in partnership with UM School of Theatre & Dance, The Rep presents a full production of Kendra Mylnechuk Potter’s Can’t Drink Salt Water. Juxtaposing a mother’s relentless search for her missing daughter with the journey of a young woman newly arrived at Bethel House, an evangelical shelter for victims of sex trafficking, this timely story weaves together Native identity, maternal grief, contemporary religious faith, humor, and a call to action. This production will showcase professional Indigenous talent from across the country, and as a co-production, will showcase UM student actors alongside the professionals.
This performance includes mature themes.

“Welcome to your local art museum, now sponsored by the U.S. Department of War. We want to assure you that all rumors that the museum has become in any way abnormal or unsafe in recent weeks are entirely untrue. And there is absolutely nothing to the hearsay that our beautiful artworks are having profound metaphysical interactions with our patrons.”
Montana Rep partners with the Missoula Art Museum to bring you this unique blending of live theatre and visual art. Join us as four playwrights – Paul W. Kruse, Madeline Sayet, Habib Yazdi, and Avery Deutsch – explore what it means to lose something and, perhaps, find it again.
This on-site performance of four new plays includes mature themes and language. Audiences will move throughout the art museum during the show.

The Spruce Creek High School theatre club is putting on a play, an adaption of Lewis Carroll's "Alice" stories. When AJ is cast as the fearsome Jabberwock, memorizing the famous poem awakens long-buried memories full of teeth, claws, and everything in between. As AJ prepares for opening night, an old hardship and an unlikely friendship collide — leaving AJ wondering if fear has been telling the wrong story. With humor, heart, and a touch of Carrollian wonder, JabberDoggy explores how the stories we tell — on stage and in our minds — shape our fears, and how friendship can help us rewrite them.
This engaging play is fun for the whole family, and can be enjoyed by patrons of all ages.
