SUMMARY:Grease
DESCRIPTION:GREASE  (PG-13) at Bigfork Summer Playhouse \nBOOK AND MUSIC BY\nCASEY WARREN AND JIM JACOBS \nIt’s 1959\, and Rydell High School’s senior class is in rare form. The too-cool-for-school “Burger Palace Boys” are stealing hub-caps and acting tough and their gum-snapping\, chain-smoking “Pink Ladies” are looking hot in bobby sox and pedal pushers. The 1950s high school dream is about to explode in this rollicking musical that is both an homage to the idealism of the fifties and a satire of high schoolers’ age-old desire to be rebellious\, provocative and rebellious. At the heart of the story is the romance between hot-rodding gangster Danny Zuko and the sweet new girl in town\, Sandy Dumbrowski. They had a secret romance in summer\, but now back in the context of school\, peer-pressure and cliques make their love a bit more complicated. Can Danny maintain his cool dude status and still get make demure Sandy his girl? The whole gang sings and dances around Danny and Sandy’s romance\, through such hit songs as “Greased Lightnin’”\, “We Go Together”\, and “Mooning”\, recalling the music of Buddy Holly\, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation. Starting off with an eight-year Broadway run\, Grease is among the world’s most popular musicals and has a cult-like following\, especially among teens!\nSongs include:  “Summer Nights”\, “Raining On Prom Night”\, “Greased Lightning”\, “Mooning”\, “Freddy My Love”\, “The Hand Jive” and many more!\nFor more information\, please call  406-837-4886 \nFor tickets:  https://bigforksummerplayhouse.com/tickets/

SUMMARY:Tyler Swain Artist Reception
DESCRIPTION:Tyler Swain is the featured artist in our Bigfork gallery for the month of August! Join us for an artist reception for his solo show “The Birds and the Bees” on Friday\, August 4th from 4-7pm to celebrate his work – in conjunction with Bigfork Village Night! \nTyler Swain’s work is cultivated with a gentle attention to detail\, seeking a balance between simplicity and complexity. When talking about his viewpoint as an artist\, he often quotes a phrase attributed to Leonardo daVinci – “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”???????? \nFrom the Artist: “The more I painted still life\, the more I started to approach painting the still life objects as portraits\, focusing on the unique aspects of each thing. The texture and distressing that I add to the background is a way of creating tension between refinement and spontaneity\, and acts like a foil character in a movie or play for the protagonist.????????”

SUMMARY:Jimmy Buffet’s Escape to Margaritaville
DESCRIPTION:Jimmy Buffet’s Escape to Margaritaville (PG-14)\nBook by Emmy Award winner Greg Garcia and Emmy nominee Mike O’Malley\nMusic & Lyrics by Jimmy Buffett \nThis musical tells the story of a sweet romance between an island-dweller and a tourist\, using the music of Jimmy Buffett. It is just what it promises: an escape to a warm climate full of singing\, dancing\, and tequila.\nThe musical\, which premiered in 2017\, has music and lyrics by Jimmy Buffett with a book written by Greg Garcia and Mike O’Malley. Singer Tully works at a run-down beach resort called Margaritaville alongside a bartender named Brick. He’s happy to spend his days relaxing and flirting with the tourists\, while avoiding anything that looks like commitment.Meanwhile\, environmental scientist Rachel is reluctant to take a break from work to go on vacation with her best friend Tammy. Rachel can’t stand Tammy’s jerkish fiancé Chadd and is dreading their wedding when they return from Margaritaville.\nWhile Rachel is dismayed that the resort is not as nice as it looked online and to find out that she has no phone service on the island and thus can’t keep working\, she is eventually able to get into the island spirit with some help. Tully and Brick spend time with Rachel and Tammy and sparks fly between the two couples. But after Rachel and Tammy return to Cincinnati\, will anything become of their romances?\nSongs include: “Cheeseburger in Paradise”\, “Margaritaville\,” “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere\,” “Fins\,” “Volcano”\, and many more.\nFor more information\, please call 406-837-4886. \nChampagne reception following the July 6th performance.

SUMMARY:The Addams Family
DESCRIPTION:The Addams Family (PG-13) at Bigfork Summer Playhouse\nBook by Rick Elice & Marshall Brickman​\nMusic & Lyrics by Andrew Lippa \nIn the kooky\, upside-down world of the Addams Family\, to be sad is to be happy\, to feel pain is to feel joy\, and death and suffering are the stuff of their dreams. Nonetheless\, this quirky family still has to deal with many of the same challenges faced by any other family\, and the spookiest nightmare faced by every family creates the focus Lippa\, Brickman\, and Elice’s musical: the Addams kids are growing up. The Addamses have lived by their unique values for hundreds of years and Gomez and Morticia\, the patriarch and matriarch of the clan\, would be only too happy to continue living that way. Their dark\, macabre\, beloved daughter Wednesday\, however\, is now an eighteen year-old young woman who is ready for a life of her own. She has fallen in love with Lucas Beineke\, a sweet\, smart boy from a normal\, respectable Ohio family — the most un-Addams sounding person one could be! And to make matters worse\, she has invited the Beinekes to their home for dinner. In one fateful\, hilarious night\, secrets are disclosed\, relationships are tested\, and the Addams family must face up to the one horrible thing they’ve managed to avoid for generations: change.\n​Songs include: “When You’re an Addams”\, “Pulled”\, “One Normal Night”\, “The Moon & Me”\, “Crazier Than You” and more.\nFor more information\, please call 406-837-4886. \nTickets:  https://bigforksummerplayhouse.com/tickets/ \n

SUMMARY:Jimmy Buffet’s Escape to Margaritaville
DESCRIPTION:Jimmy Buffet’s Escape to Margaritaville (PG-14)\nBook by Emmy Award winner Greg Garcia and Emmy nominee Mike O’Malley\nMusic & Lyrics by Jimmy Buffett \nThis musical tells the story of a sweet romance between an island-dweller and a tourist\, using the music of Jimmy Buffett. It is just what it promises: an escape to a warm climate full of singing\, dancing\, and tequila.\nThe musical\, which premiered in 2017\, has music and lyrics by Jimmy Buffett with a book written by Greg Garcia and Mike O’Malley. Singer Tully works at a run-down beach resort called Margaritaville alongside a bartender named Brick. He’s happy to spend his days relaxing and flirting with the tourists\, while avoiding anything that looks like commitment.Meanwhile\, environmental scientist Rachel is reluctant to take a break from work to go on vacation with her best friend Tammy. Rachel can’t stand Tammy’s jerkish fiancé Chadd and is dreading their wedding when they return from Margaritaville.\nWhile Rachel is dismayed that the resort is not as nice as it looked online and to find out that she has no phone service on the island and thus can’t keep working\, she is eventually able to get into the island spirit with some help. Tully and Brick spend time with Rachel and Tammy and sparks fly between the two couples. But after Rachel and Tammy return to Cincinnati\, will anything become of their romances?\nSongs include: “Cheeseburger in Paradise”\, “Margaritaville\,” “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere\,” “Fins\,” “Volcano”\, and many more.\nFor more information\, please call 406-837-4886. \nChampagne reception following the July 6th performance.

SUMMARY:Grease
DESCRIPTION:GREASE  (PG-13) at Bigfork Summer Playhouse \nBOOK AND MUSIC BY\nCASEY WARREN AND JIM JACOBS \nIt’s 1959\, and Rydell High School’s senior class is in rare form. The too-cool-for-school “Burger Palace Boys” are stealing hub-caps and acting tough and their gum-snapping\, chain-smoking “Pink Ladies” are looking hot in bobby sox and pedal pushers. The 1950s high school dream is about to explode in this rollicking musical that is both an homage to the idealism of the fifties and a satire of high schoolers’ age-old desire to be rebellious\, provocative and rebellious. At the heart of the story is the romance between hot-rodding gangster Danny Zuko and the sweet new girl in town\, Sandy Dumbrowski. They had a secret romance in summer\, but now back in the context of school\, peer-pressure and cliques make their love a bit more complicated. Can Danny maintain his cool dude status and still get make demure Sandy his girl? The whole gang sings and dances around Danny and Sandy’s romance\, through such hit songs as “Greased Lightnin’”\, “We Go Together”\, and “Mooning”\, recalling the music of Buddy Holly\, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation. Starting off with an eight-year Broadway run\, Grease is among the world’s most popular musicals and has a cult-like following\, especially among teens!\nSongs include:  “Summer Nights”\, “Raining On Prom Night”\, “Greased Lightning”\, “Mooning”\, “Freddy My Love”\, “The Hand Jive” and many more!\nFor more information\, please call  406-837-4886 \nFor tickets:  https://bigforksummerplayhouse.com/tickets/

SUMMARY:The Addams Family
DESCRIPTION:The Addams Family (PG-13) at Bigfork Summer Playhouse\nBook by Rick Elice & Marshall Brickman​\nMusic & Lyrics by Andrew Lippa \nIn the kooky\, upside-down world of the Addams Family\, to be sad is to be happy\, to feel pain is to feel joy\, and death and suffering are the stuff of their dreams. Nonetheless\, this quirky family still has to deal with many of the same challenges faced by any other family\, and the spookiest nightmare faced by every family creates the focus Lippa\, Brickman\, and Elice’s musical: the Addams kids are growing up. The Addamses have lived by their unique values for hundreds of years and Gomez and Morticia\, the patriarch and matriarch of the clan\, would be only too happy to continue living that way. Their dark\, macabre\, beloved daughter Wednesday\, however\, is now an eighteen year-old young woman who is ready for a life of her own. She has fallen in love with Lucas Beineke\, a sweet\, smart boy from a normal\, respectable Ohio family — the most un-Addams sounding person one could be! And to make matters worse\, she has invited the Beinekes to their home for dinner. In one fateful\, hilarious night\, secrets are disclosed\, relationships are tested\, and the Addams family must face up to the one horrible thing they’ve managed to avoid for generations: change.\n​Songs include: “When You’re an Addams”\, “Pulled”\, “One Normal Night”\, “The Moon & Me”\, “Crazier Than You” and more.\nFor more information\, please call 406-837-4886. \nTickets:  https://bigforksummerplayhouse.com/tickets/ \n
