MCT Premiere Night Fundraiser: Ken Ludwig’s Moon Over Buffalo at Missoula Children’s Theatre 6:00 pm to 10:00 pm Thursday, January 15

Join MCT at the Missoula Children’s Theatre for the premiere of “Ken Ludwig’s Moon Over Buffalo”! This signature fundraiser features a catered reception, an open bar, dessert, and your ticket to the first performance of this production. Tickets are $125 each and can be purchased by contacting the MCT Box Office at 406-729-7529.

It’s the 1950s, and stage actors George and Charlotte Hay know the spotlight on them is fading as they desperately try to hold on to their fame. Each with differing visions of how their lives will play out, the revelation of George’s affair with a young starlet and a fateful call from the famous Frank Capra may just revive their careers as it ends their marriage. Playwright Ken Ludwig (Lend Me a Tenor) can serve up a farce like no one else with all the ingredients of a classic slapstick, mad-cap comedy. Mayhem, backstage shenanigans, plenty of slamming doors (which are funny…at least on stage) and misunderstandings threaten to upend George and Charlotte’s futures. Strap in for a bumpy, hilarious ride in Buffalo, under the moonlight.By Ken Ludwig“Ken Ludwig’s Moon Over Buffalo” is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com

Sterling Drake’s tuned reflect his deep love of the landscapes, people and culture of the American West. Steeped in the traditions of roots music, the journey of country songwriter Sterling Drake has taken him from the Big Cypress of south Florida to the mountains of western Montana and everywhere in between. With a penchant for honest storytelling, Sterling weaves his own perspective into the American songbook, often highlighting a strong sense of place through both natural imagery and cultural context.

With influences ranging from Willie Nelson to Lead Belly, the wells of inspiration for this young artist are as diverse as American music itself. Sterling’s live shows are a kaleidoscope, often reflecting the countless styles that have colored his repertoire.

Spurred on by a passion for the cowboy lifestyle, in 2024 Sterling is teaming up with nonprofit land conservation and mental health advocacy groups to help address issues impacting the ranching community.

As a risk-taking traditionalist, Sterling seeks to bridge the old and the new through his art. Sterling’s artistic journey is one of continual personal growth and self-discovery, served for those who seek to carve their own path.Lonesome Highway called his music a “perfect fusion of western swing, honky-tonk heartache, and dance hall treasures.” Sterling’s musical influences range from country to folk to blues and more.
