Performers from the Montana Repertory Theatre in Missoula come to the Great Falls Public Library on Thursday, Oct. 16 for a FREE showing of JabberDoggy (And Other Made Up Words) from 6 to 7 pm in the Cordingley Room. The show is open to all ages. They also will be here from 4 to 5 pm on Thursday, Oct. 16 for a FREE Stage-combat workshop for kids and teens ages 10 to 18. Community members of all ages are welcome to watch the workshop!
JabberDoggy (And Other Made-Up Words) tells the tale of the The Spruce Creek High School theatre club, who is putting on a play, an adaption 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.
Papo’s Food Truck will be selling food outside during the show, as well! This performance of The JabberDoggy, as well as performances at East Middle School and North Middle School, are made possible by the Great Falls Public Library Foundation.
