Fort Peck Summer Theatre's 2022 Season is Just Around the Corner!

Artistic Director Andy Meyers, returning for his 12th season, is happy to be moving full steam ahead with preparations for the 2022 Fort Peck Summer Theatre season. Following last season’s popular rep style schedule, the season will feature a mix of rotating performances. Since last summer, Meyers has appeared as Amos in Chicago at Arizona Broadway Theatre, played Scrooge in the National Tour of A Christmas Carol and directed The Spitfire Grill at Billings Studio Theatre. Many returning alums, plus new faces from those projects and others, join the 2022 FPST company.

Forever Plaid (June 3 – July 2)

Director: Joseph Martinez

Musical Director: Jayden Ostler

This popular and affectionate musical homage to the close-harmony ‘guy groups’ that reached the height of their popularity during the 1950s, follows a quartet of high-school chums in their cherry red ’54 Mercury, and their earnest dreams of recording an album and appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show.

The Complete History of America + Patriot Musical Revue (June 10 – July 9)

Director: Rob Watson

600 years of American history in 6000 seconds! Performed by three actors, this is a comedic 90 minute rollercoaster ride, spoofs and revels our nation’s chronicle and pop culture. This comedy is paired with a Patriotic Musical Revue featuring more than a dozen American standards.

The Bridges of Madison County (June 17 – July 10)

Co-Directors: Shelby Art & Andy Meyers

Musical Director: Scott Koljonen

Based on the best-selling novel and subsequent Oscar winning film starring Meryl Streep and Clintwood, The Bridges of Madison County captures the lyrical expanse of America’s heartland along with the yearning entangled in the eternal question, “What if…?” Winner of multiple 2014 Tony Awards, this sweeping romance about the roads we travel, the doors we open and the bridges we dare to cross will leave audiences breathless.

Always… Patsy Cline (July 15-24)

Director: Heather Adams

Musical Director: Luree Green-Chappell

A runaway hit from Fort Peck Summer Theatre’s 2015 season, the musical will perform for two weekends only. Based on a true story about Patsy’s friendship with a fan from Houston named Louise Seger, the musical is full of down-home country humor, true emotion and even some audience participation. It includes over 2 dozen of Patsy’s greatest hits, including ‘Crazy’, ‘I Fall to Pieces’ and ‘Walking After Midnight.’ Debra Berger and Pam L. Veis will both reprise their roles from the 2015 production.

Seussical (July 29 – Aug. 14)

Director / Choreographer: Andy Meyers

Assistant Director: Shelby Art

Assistant Choreographer: Angela Pierson

Musical Director: Scott Koljonen

Back by popular demand, The Cat in the Hat, Horton the Elephant and all the citizens of Whoville come to life on the FPST stage! Featuring special effects, infectious music and a TON of heart, this high energy musical based on the imaginative world of Dr. Seuss, is perfect for the entire family.

Wait Until Dark (August 19 – September 4)

Director: Andy Meyers

In the Oscar-nominated film version, Audrey Hepburn stars as Suzy Hendrix, a blind woman who must use her wits to outsmart crooks and solve a mystery unfolding right before her eyes. The climax has been heralded as “one of the most thrilling moments of theatre to hit the Broadway stage!”

TYA Tour: The Country Mouse and the City Mouse (Various dates throughout July)

Director: Shelby Art

Ernie and Ernest have been best friends for as long as they can remember. As pen pals they eagerly exchange letters almost every day, which travel nearly 5,000 miles between their homes in Montana and London. Though their daily routines are very different at times, they share what is most important: love of family and home and the value of having fun, as they learn about culture, sports, food, and history! Written by Andy Meyers.

The Annual Performing Arts Camp will take place Aug. 2 – Aug. 11, culminating in the much-anticipated Showcase Performance at 7 p.m. on Aug. 11. Megan Wiltshire and Lizzie Petters return as camp directors.
