NEWSIES (PG)
July 2-August 22
New York City, 1899. Jack Kelly and his ragtag team of newsboys make a meager living selling newspapers on the city streets. But when the prices of “papes” are hiked and the newsies are hung out to dry, there is nothing left to do but “open the gates and seize the day!” Led by charismatic Jack and independent, young newspaper reporter Katherine Plummer, the Newsies form a union and organize a strike against the greedy publisher of the New York World. Can a group of idealistic newsboys win against a foe as powerful as acclaimed publisher Joseph Pulitzer? Inspired by the true story of the 1899 Newsboys Strike, Newsies is an ebullient, joyful, and entertaining musical capturing the strength that young people have when they join together and stand up against injustice. With a funny, poignant book by Harvey Feirstein and stunning music by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman—including the show-stopping Seize the Day--Newsies is a classic with the power to inspire.
Songs include:"Santa Fe","Carrying The Banner", "Watch What Happens", "Seize the Day", and more.

Welcome to the Renaissance! Set in the 1590’s, where the Black Plague has ceded power to the Puritans, farthingales and codpieces are the latest fashion trend,nd the biggest“Rockstar” celebrity in England is a playwright named William Shakespeare (also known as “The Bard”). In the midst of all this excitement, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are trying to keep their acting company afloat. In a desperate attempt to out-Bard the Bard, Nick consults with a soothsayer, who informs him that the future of theatre involves acting, singing, and dancing—sometimes all at once! As the Bottom brothers strive to write the world’s very first “musical”, they find themselves caught in a bitter battle with the Bard and the play’s the thing. Something Rotten! is a hysterical, joyous celebration of everything you love about Broadway and entertainment.

The HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME (PG-13)
July 4-July 30
What makes a monster and what makes a man? This is the central theme of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, a sweeping, grand-scale musical from Disney Theatrical. Based on the 1996 Disney film and Victor Hugo’s 1831 novel, The Hunchback of Notre Dame tells the story of Quasimodo, the hunchbacked bell-ringer of Notre Dame, and his desire to one day be a part of the outside world. When he summons the courage to attend the Feast of Fools, he meets Esmeralda, a compassionate gypsy who protects him from an angry mob. But at the same time, Quasimodo’s master, the archdeacon Dom Claude Frollo, and the new captain of the guard, Phoebus de Martin, fall in love with the beautiful girl. Adding to Quasimodo’s struggle is his punishment and derision from Frollo, following years of psychological abuse, and the danger posed by the gypsies, who are willing to kill any outsiders who venture into their secret hideout. But before Paris is burned to the ground, will Quasimodo be able to save Esmeralda from Frollo’s lust and anger? Will she return Quasimodo’s affection? Who is the true monster of Notre Dame?

Bigfork Film Festivals presents (postponed until October)
We regret to announce that the 4th Annual Bigfork Independent Film Festival (BIFF), scheduled to take place April 3-5, has now been postponed until October 2-4 due to concerns surrounding Coronavirus. They are expecting filmmakers from throughout the state to attend and decided to postpone the festival in an abundance of caution and to protect the health of the local community.
If you have already purchased tickets or passes, either online or in person, those tickets and passes will continue to be valid for the October festival. You can also request a full refund by sending an email to Steve Shapero at sshapero@gmail.com. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate the public’s understanding and patience. The Bigfork Indie Film Festival may never become as big as Sundance, but they plan to make their mark as a place for movie-lovers to celebrate the arts. On hand will be feature, short, documentary and student films broken up into blocks. Choose a block that most interests you and enjoy the experience of watching films as they were meant to be seen. Most of these films have not been shown publicly before which means this is an international premiere event for them! Come support the Montana film community and see what they have to offer. We think you’ll be impressed. Click below to get full schedule for the Film Festival. |
