Summer Theatre Announces 2025 Season
Fort Peck Summer Theatre line up featuring an exciting mix of enduring classics and new hits direct from Broadway. Plus a world premiere.
The Play That Goes Wrong
will run from May 23 to June 8. When the accident prone, inept troop of actors attempts to perform a complicated 1920’s murder mystery play, chaos breaks loose. Actors forget lines, set pieces collapse and equipment tumbles. Everything that can possibly go wrong does so, to hilarious effects ending in complete and total happy disarray.
Rock of Ages will run from June 13 to June 29. This show is all about the music featuring iconic ‘80s classic rock hits by Journey, Bon Jovi, Poison, Pat Benatar, Twisted Sister, Styx and many others. This five-time Tony Award nominated Broadway musical smash tells the story of a small-town girl, a city boy and a Rock’n’Roll romance on the Sunset Strip. But when the bar where rock reigns supreme is set to be demolished, it’s up to them and their band of friends of wannabe rock stars to save the day — and the music. Rated PG-13.
Turtle the Theatre Cat: Celebrating the 10th season of FPFAC/AM Theatrical’s touring Theatre for Young Audience series. June/July at various venues throughout northeast Montana.
It is time to sign up for the annual Talent Show, but Turtle, the Theatre Cat, is not certain that she wants to be in the spotlight. Her friends encourage her to explore all aspects of theatre in preparation for the big show, including costumes, lights and scenery. Though she has a few hiccups and follies, she learns all the secrets of the magic behind the scenes, and more importantly, the vitality of everyone’s creative roles.
Annie will run from July 5-20. Leapin’ Lizards! Winner of seven Tony Awards, including Best Musical, the beloved show features famous characters, a heap of optimism and, of course, the smash hit, Tomorrow. This timeless musical about hope happily makes its return to Fort Peck Summer Theatre, directed by artistic director Andy Meyers, who performed in the musical’s National Broadway tour.
Disney’s Newsies will run from July 25 to Aug. 10. Now is the time to seize the day! Inspired by the real-life NYC Newsboy strike of 1899, Disney’s popular movie premiered on film in 1992. To great success, it was adapted into a smash live Broadway musical, utilizing all the famous songs from the film. The show promises to feature athletic choreography, high energy action and lots of heart.
The 28th annual Performing Arts Camp is July 29 to Aug. 7: Showcase Performance is Aug. 7 at 7 p.m.
Dracula is scheduled for Aug. 15-31. One vampire. Four Actors. Nine Pints of Blood. Fifty-seven characters. In a madcap mash-up of Misery and Laugh-In, the world’s most famous vampire will haunt the historic Fort Peck Theatre. Dracula is sure to be a fever-paced balance of comedy and horror, as hilarious lightning-fast costume changes and tongue-incheek dialogue are matched by rousing jump scares and goosebump-inducing chilling special effects.
2025 season volunteer community cast auditions will take place in mid-February 2025.
