Serving Proudly As The Voice Of Valley County Since 1913
Serving Proudly As The Voice Of Valley County Since 1913
Forever Plaid is a popular and affectionate musical homage to the close-harmony 'guy groups' that reached the height of their popularity during the 1950s, following 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. Having been performed at FPST twice before, it is regularly one of the most requested shows to make a return.
Forever Plaid stars company stalwart Jay Michael Roberts, alongside three actor/musicians making their FPST debuts: Benjamin Sellers, an Orange County Calif., native and recent graduate of Wagner College in New York City; Whitefish based actor and writer Mikey Winn; and Cody Wyo. native Benjamin Wambeke who is entering his senior year at University of Montana.
Joseph Martinez, artistic director of Missoula Children's Theatre and former resident director at Arizona Broadway, returns to direct having previously helmed FPST's Mamma Mia, Shrek and Footloose. Billings native Jayden Ostler joins as musical director.
Forever Plaid runs from June 3 through July 2. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m., selected Saturday, 2 p.m. matinees and Sundays at 4 p.m.
