Montana Shakespeare in the Parks performs The Complete Works, a fast-firing comedy that romps through Shakespeare’s collection of plays in an hour and a half. The play was London’s longest-running comedy, and takes audiences on a family friendly, hysterical and highly abridged version of every single one of the Bard’s comedies, histories and tragedies in the length of a normal play. All ages.
An additional chance to experience local theater follows with Clue, On Stage on Friday and Saturday, November 11th and 12th. Show time is 7pm each night. Run time is 100 minutes with intermission. Tickets range $15–$25.
Big Sky’s talented locals take on a new adaptation of the iconic 1985 Paramount movie which was inspired by the classic Hasbro board game. Clue is a hilarious farce-meets-murder mystery. The tale begins at a remote mansion, where six mysterious guests assemble for an unusual dinner party where murder and blackmail are on the menu. When their host turns up dead, they all become suspects. Led by Wadsworth – the butler, Miss Scarlett, Professor Plum, Mrs. White, Mr. Green, Mrs. Peacock and Colonel Mustard race to find the killer as the body count stacks up. Clue is the comedy whodunit that will leave both cult-fans and newcomers in stitches as they try to figure out WHO did it, WHERE and with WHAT! Recommended for ages 10 and up.
