Fuse, by Suzanne Creedon is a dance work that dissects the juxtaposition of minimality and maximality.
But in polar moments of anger and stress,
The room is disgusting,
The room is a mess.
I haven’t found an in-between, “Sometimes I shut my eyes,
A room with walls fills the darkness.
My current state decides the fate
Of the surroundings that besiege me.
In calmer times the walls are bare.
Nothing fills the space,
Nothing’s in the air.
and I wonder what feeling would cause that scene.”
Hapa
by Jenna Gerdsen
Pain and labor lie beneath the pleasurable, paradisiacal landscape of Hawaii. This new play weaves the author’s own upbringing in Hawaii with the island-state’s imperialist history and tourist based economy.

The Snow Queen
A musical play
Saturday, January 12, 2019 at 11am and 1pm
Location: Harmony Hall Regional Center in Fort Washington
The Missoula Children’s Theatre presents “The Snow Queen,” an original adaptation of the classic fairy tale. Although set in a “Land of colored ice,” this classic tale will warm your heart in its illustrative retelling by a group of fun-loving, imaginative hobgoblins. As they depict the journey of a young girl and her quest to find her best friend, you may find yourself believing in malevolent mirrors, yetis, talking reindeer and snow chickens! Blizzards can come at any moment, so strap on some snowshoes and get ready to discover what it takes to overcome chilling obstacles, keep resilience alive, and melt down the Snow Queen’s icy walls.
The Missoula Children’s Theatre provides two professional tour actor/directors, who will audition and cast 50 to 60 local elementary school children in this production on Monday, January 7, 2019. To participate, see the audition notice.
