Bigfork Summer Playhouse Shows
Catch a Broadway-quality theater production at Flathead Lake in June, when Bigfork Summer Playhouse’s season opens. This month, the theater has three captivating shows to choose from:
Newsies – With explosive choreography and lots of heart, Disney’s Newsies is inspired by the real-life 1899 New York newsboys strike, when a group of scrappy young newspaper sellers challenge powerful publishers and discover the strength of solidarity.
Young Frankenstein – Mel Brooks’ famously campy Young Frankenstein combines classic horror-movie parody with over-the-top Broadway comedy and outrageous musical numbers.
The Music Man – As one of America’s most beloved classic musicals, the show blends humor, romance, and Americana as its con-man protagonist, Harold Hill, tries to manipulate a small Iowa town.
Festival Amadeus (June 27 – 30)
Festival Amadeus is the Glacier Symphony Orchestra’s annual celebration of Mozart and other legendary classical artists, featuring a series of performances, guest musicians, and social events at the end of June.
We hope to see you on the water and at these exciting Flathead events this month!
