The tour kicks-off with three public performances on September 6 and 7 at the Zootown Arts Community Center in Missoula, MT. The Spruce Creek High School theatre club is putting on a play, an adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s “Alice” stories. When AJ is cast as the fearsome Jabberwock, memorizing the famous poem awakens long-buried memories full of teeth, claws, and everything in between. As AJ prepares for opening night, an old hardship and an unlikely friendship collide – leaving AJ wondering if fear has been telling the wrong story. With humor, heart, and a touch of Carrollian wonder, JabberDoggy explores how the stories we tell – on stage and in our minds – shape our fears, and how friendship can help us rewrite them. This engaging play is fun for the whole family, and can be enjoyed by patrons of all ages! About Montana Repertory Theatre (Missoula, Mont.) Established in 1967, the Montana Repertory Theatre is the resident professional theatre at the University of Montana.
