'To Kill A Mockingbird' Comes To Life On Stage
The Montana Repertory Theatre will present
"To Kill a Mockingbird" at 7:30 p.m.
Tuesday-Saturday, Jan. 27-31, and Saturday,
Feb. 7, in the Montana Theatre in the
Performing Arts and Radio/Television Center.
There also will be a matinee performance at 2
p.m. Saturday, Jan. 31.
Witness Harper Lee's Pulitzer-Prize winning
tale unfold and its colorful characters
develop as 15 actors and a crew of seven
present a compelling performance for Missoula
audiences before taking the show on national
tour. Playgoers will find themselves
transported to a sleepy Southern town in the
1930s, where they discover that the issues of
that time -- prejudice, racism and human
values -- are issues of all time.
Tickets cost $18 for the general public, $14
for seniors and students and $8 children 12
and under. They are available by calling
406-243-4581 or at the Drama/Dance Box
Office, located in the PAR/TV Center. Box

performances.

American Indian Art On Display At MMAC
Two exhibitions that feature American Indian
artists are now on display at the Montana
Museum of Art & Culture, located in the
PAR/TV Center.
"Fritz Scholder: Lithographs" is in the
museum's Meloy Gallery. Scholder (1937-2005)
was a major influence for a generation of
American Indian artists. Disillusioned by the
way Indians were portrayed in art, he felt
that the American Indian artist must step out
of the arena of curios into the world of fine
objects and expressive painting. The
lithographs on display were created by
Scholder during his time at the Tamarind
Institute in Albuquerque, N.M., where he was
invited in 1970.
"Spirit Trails and Sky Beings," featuring
traditional stories on birch bark scrolls by
Ojibway Richard LaFromboise (Miskomin), is in
the museum's Paxson Gallery. Through an
elaborate series of symbols called
pictographs, birch bark scrolls serve as
memory aids to tell traditional Ojibway
stories that teach lessons about morals and
values to Ojibway children, as well as
adults. This traveling exhibition, a project
of the North Dakota Council on the Arts, is a
significant step in the preservation and
continuation of the tradition.
The exhibitions will be at the museum through
Saturday, March 7. For more information, go
to the MMAC Web site or call 406-243-2019.
