Join us for a drink at Western Cider, then board a bus, where the show starts with a time-hopping, existential trip to Willard Alternative School. At the school, learn what really happens in the teachers’ lounge, attend a late-night séance in the gym, turn in your chorus class homework, and experience the moment when a talented student finds his voice. Plus, you can only see these brand new, world-premiere plays at The Rep.

hearth: a yuletide tale
by Tyson Gerhardt
Featuring The Recession Special
On a cold December night, a young boy wanders off into a world of ragpickers, tramps, and buskers struggling to survive the winter. As they share their songs and stories, he hatches a plan to help them. But one wrong step could upset the balance of a way of life already on the edge. What begins as an act of childhood rebellion becomes a window into the wonder and the cruelty of the world.
Performance Dates:
December 9-11 in the Montana Theatre
December 16-18 at the Zootown Arts Community Center

The castle with a thousand lights
By Sam Myers
Toby and Melissa have been friends since they were little kids. Now they're in high school, and something's changed-- they're starting to wonder if maybe they don't actually have that much in common. As they try to figure out who they're becoming, they tell each other a story: in a remote little town nestled in the mountains of a magical faraway land (which looks a lot like Montana), an evil warlock builds a castle on a hill and starts causing trouble. It's up to two kids (who look a lot like Toby and Melissa) to figure out how to stop the warlock. Is there a story big enough and true enough to bridge the space between two friends?

Re-Entry
By Emily Ackerman & KJ Sanchez
An unflinching look at the lives of Marines getting ready for and returning from combat, ReEntry is a docudrama based on real interviews with U.S. service members and their families. Honest, moving, and surprisingly funny, this play explores the challenges of reintegrating into home and community after tours of duty overseas.
This production contains adult language and situations, including candid descriptions of wartime conditions.
