Montana Repertory Theatre proudly announces its 20th annual educational tour production, Monster + Farmer. This modern retelling of the classic Frankenstein tale is set on a Montana ranch near the picturesque Mission Mountains. The tour will begin with two public performances on August 31 at 2:00 PM and 7:30 PM at the Zootown Arts Community Center in Missoula, MT.
Monster + Farmer offers a modern twist on the classic Frankenstein tale on a Montana ranch near the Mission Mountains. Step into the world of Riley, a teenage science whiz living on a Montana ranch near the Mission Mountains. When she picks up a copy of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein,” Riley is inspired to craft a DIY creature of her own – all chronicled on her YouTube channel! When her creation goes haywire, Riley and her brother Aidan must minimize the chaos (and save the cows!) while all the world watches through their smartphones. MONSTER + FARMER is about creation and connection in an increasingly digital world. The play delves into themes of family dynamics, the anxiety of social media, and the importance of seeking help, all while showcasing an innovative, determined female lead excelling in science and technology.
Monster + Farmer is written for middle and high school students but great for all ages!
