MCT Community Series: Ken Ludwig's Moon Over Buffalo at Missoula Children's Theatre

MCT Community Series: Ken Ludwig’s Moon Over Buffalo at Missoula Children’s Theatre performances from January 16 thru January 25

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

Las Guaracheras at Hamilton High School

Spice up your January with all-female sextet Columbian instrumental music group Las Guaracheras at Hamilton High School at 7:30 pm Saturday, January 17

Spice up your January with Las Guaracheras at Hamilton High School at 7:30 pm Saturday, January 17!

The all-female sextet Las Guaracheras was born in 2017 in the city of Cali, Colombia, an initiative of the percussionists Laura Linares and Mónica Castro. As lovers of the son (“sound” in Spanish) and guaracha genres, they decided to form an instrumental group in which they could express all their intense musical feelings while, at the same time, preserving the essence of guaracha. Guarachas were played and sung in musical theatres and working class dance salons during the late 19th and early 20th century. The ensemble’s cultural and artistic objective is to uplift the female voice within Afro-Latin music and build a more inclusive, diverse, and respectful cultural space for all.

Foundation Entertainment x Montana Kush Presents: Duffrey & Chmura: Cloud Grove Tour

Duffrey:

Duffrey is an eclectronic music producer with an insatiable hunger for brain tickling soundscapes and squelchy bass. Woody Klann, a musician from a young age, has been squeezing sounds from his environment since he can remember. He combines an undeniable groove, rich instrumentation, and complex sonic exploration to transport the listener on a funky intergalactic journey.

Utilizing a fusion of the chilled out, hazy influence from the Northwest and the lush vibrant inspiration of Northern California, Woody has defined an entirely new sonic vocabulary. He experiments with many genres including Midtempo, Dub, Four on the Floor, and Drum and Bass and the result is comparable to an omnitempo psychedelic space safari. He’s known for converting brainwaves into tangible vibration that takes control of your body and leaves you tingling.

Chmura:

Emerging from the depths of bass culture, Chumra crafts soundscapes that blur the line between primal rhythm and modern experimentation. His music channels heavy low-end pressure balanced with intricate textures, pulling listeners into an immersive journey that is equal parts meditative and electrifying.

Drawing inspiration from the darker edges of dubstep, tribal percussion, and cinematic ambience, Chumra’s sets are designed to move both body and spirit. Whether on a massive sound system or in an intimate underground setting, he delivers hypnotic energy that resonates long after the last note fades.

With a growing catalog of releases and a reputation for commanding live performances, Chumra continues to carve out his own path in the global bass community—pushing boundaries while staying rooted in the essence of deep, transformative sound.

Pub Sing with Lake Missoula Old Time at Western Cider

Join Lake Missoula Old Time for an a’capella community Pub Sing session at Western Cider from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm the 3rd Sunday each month

Join LMOT and Friends for a Pub Sing at our favorite local pub: Western Cider!This is a beginner-friendly collaborative singing gathering.

Pub Sing is a casual “singing jam” of sorts (not a performance!). A wide variety of songs are welcome, but ones with catchy choruses, call and response, or that are generally “sing-along-able” work best. We take turns leading songs, and everyone joins in on the chorus or other repeated parts. It’s also totally fine to just sing along! You don’t have to lead a song if you don’t want to.

Traditional songs, folk songs, sea chanties, etc. are all great genres to draw from. We sing a cappella, so no instruments are needed.

Feel free to bring print outs of lyrics to share 🙂We hope you’ll join us!
