Description

Join Montana Shakespeare in the Schools as they present Richard III for the first time in the program's history. Associate artistic director Riley O'Toole makes his directorial debut, aiming to engage audiences with a fresh perspective on this timeless classic.

This performance is the final tech rehearsal before the company departs on tour to over 50 communities across Montana. The director may pause the performance at any time to provide notes, adjust staging and cues, or have actors repeat certain sections. Afterward, the actors and director will hold a discussion and talkback session, where audience members can ask questions and learn more about what it takes to bring this remarkable production to life. This is your chance to get an exclusive look at this production in an exquisite setting and gain a behind-the-scenes perspective into how the magic is created.

Space is limited to 50 people and registration is required.
