See Shakespeare in the Parks July 2

Montana Shakespeare in the Parks (MSIP) will be performing George Bernard Shaw's "You Never Can Tell" outside Dahl Memorial Healthcare in Ekalaka. The performance is scheduled to start at 6:30 pm on Sunday, July 2nd.

Sagebrush Service Club is once again sponsoring the performance and organizers are looking forward to seeing many members of the community enjoying it.

The New York Times has said of MSIP, "It is live theater–done Montana style. Not in the round but on top of the world."

The ten professional actors touring with the company were chosen out of a highly competitive pool of about 500 applicants and auditioners in Bozeman, Chicago, and Minneapolis.

Montana Shakespeare in the Parks is the premiere outreach program of Montana State University's College of Arts and Architecture. Grants, corporate sponsorships, and hundreds of individual donors support the free performance. This year, vital funding from the National Endowment from the Arts and one of its flow-through organizations, the Montana Arts Council is under threat. All audience members are encouraged to support the performance in whatever way they can. Locals can also get in touch with members of Sagebrush Service Club to help.

Major sponsors include The Gilhousen Family Foundation, The Gianforte Family Foundation, Pheasant Farms, Spectec: Thunderbird International Corporation, Montana Arts Council, Barnard Construction, NorthWestern Energy, D.A. Davidson and Company, KBZK, ERA Landmark, Yellowstone Public Radio, Stillwater Mining, and the Spanish Peaks Foundation.
