“We would like to thank everyone for their support over the years. We couldn’t do it without you!” says the Theater Board — President Amy McMahon; Vice-President Doug Nichols; 2nd Vice-President Chance Smith; Secretary Dena Plant; Treasurer Allison Lockridge; Members at Large Lance Rains and Renee Ortiz.
The board is currently working on a list of repairs and projects to be completed for the theater and the Kulis building. Bids are being acquired to repair the leaking area in the front of the theater and for an update to the front facade with signs and fixtures that will hold up to weather conditions. The ticket booth will be moved to the lobby to allow more space for the audience to get their tickets and refreshments before the play and during intermission.
Donations in 2018 helped pay for new runners installed between the aisles. The previous runners were beginning to unravel and cause a safety issue. Also, the heating and air conditioning systems were improved to make sure patrons are comfortable during every performance.
The theater league was able to present some great performances in 2018. The year started off with “Church Basement Ladies.” Missoula Children’s Theater was able to return to direct “Alice in Wonderland.” The year ended with a comedy called “Doublewide Texas Christmas.”
There are several upcoming events for this year. March 28-29-30 – Spring Musical “Director’s Choice … A Night of One Act Plays” directed by Rhonda Malo, Doug Nichols and Jan Stout; July 8-12 – Missoula Children’s Theater will be directing “Aladdin”;
Sept. 13-16 – Chautauqua show; Nov. 21-22-23 – Fall Play (performance will be determined at a later date).
If you would like to continue to help improve the GTL buildings and performances, there are different levels of giving — Up to $100: Sound & Light Crew; $100-$250: Actor; $250-$500: Director; $500 and above: Producer.
As a GTL Patron, your name will be included in each of the production’s program for the current year. If donations are received by March 15, your name will be included in the program for “Director’s Choice.”
