Traditionally, “dark weeks” or “dark days” are times when nothing is scheduled in a theatre space. It’s time when everyone needs to go home and rest.

Five weeks left, and we’re starting to get into the swing of things. Blocking (where performers move on stage) is mostly complete; this week, we do our first true stumble-throughs.

I think the stickiest part of a production is pre-production. At its best, it is the time when we throw all the creative spaghetti at the wall to see what sticks. We can ask, “What if goblins carried swords that look like stalagmites?” or “Could our dwarves wear mushroom armor?” or “Have you seen this

We’re up to our elf ears in snow as the 2024 Missoula Winter Storm does its dastardly deeds to our Jack and the Beanstalk rehearsal schedule. School and rehearsals are canceled, and while we work to keep families in the loop, we’ve got a few fun pieces of art that Brant Bollman has been working

The design team met for the first time this week! We’re a mix of Auditorium staff, community colleagues, previous Youth Theatre students (now graduated and out in the world), and current William Penn students.
