THE 5 BROWNS
Thursday, Jan 24 @ 7:30PM

The Five Browns play classical music, but not like you've ever heard it before the quintet's five siblings range in age from 20-27 and each is a Juilliard-trained classical pianist. Performing on five pianos, as well as in various ensemble combinations, the Browns' fresh energy and sound is opening doors to classical music for a much wider audience. This performance is supported in part by the James and Vera Olson Fund for the Arts.

CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF
Wednesday, Apr 16 @ 7:30PM

The Montana Repertory Theatre presents Tennessee Williams' Pulitzer Prize-winning "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof." Brick and maggie Pollitt are the beautiful yet tragic characters at the center of this enduring tale of family and forgiveness, love and loss.

Underneath the festive exterior lie deceptions that threaten to tear this seemingly idyllic Southern family from its very foundation.
