Montana Actors' Theatre Updates

MAT is committed to keeping Havre and Hill county safe. In order to perform during this worldwide pandemic we must adhere to strict guidelines to keep our performers and audience safe.

We have moved our Youth Production of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to the Old North 40 location at the Holiday Village Mall which gives ample space for each group to socially distance six feet apart (that's 6 floor tiles so it is easy to figure out). While some chairs are available we are encouraging audience members to bring their own foldable chairs from home. We are also requiring masks to be worn while in the space.

Our ability to perform rests upon our audience following the directives of the state and local health departments. We want to ensure that our audience members, actors, and volunteers can enjoy our productions and events for years to come!

As we still have not reached PHASE 3 of the Governor’s plan to reopen the state, MAT has made the decision to delay the opening of MAMMA MIA! until September of 2020, contingent of reaching PHASE 3 by that time. We are still planning on a 1950’s themed Death by Chocolate event in early October. MAT intends on producing a full season for 2020-2021, with a great variety of quality productions that you have come to expect. Additionally, we are still committed to producing Ticked Off! as a very special production within next season in order to accommodate the cast that has already spent much time bringing this new work from local playwright Rachel Hutchison to life. We have also made the decision to postpone Charlie and the Chocolate Factory until May of 2021 in order to make sure we can deliver a production of the highest quality with as many members of the current cast as possible.

As you are all well aware, guidelines and protocols in order to keep Montana safe and healthy are in constant flux as new information becomes available. MAT is committed to providing the highest quality local live theatre to our especially supportive audience here in Northern Montana. We are also particularly concerned with making sure we keep you and our performers as safe as possible as the country deals with the COVID – 19 pandemic. MAT is continuously monitoring the situation and making contingency plan upon contingency plan in order to best serve our mission to “Educate, entertain and enlighten through the performing arts to enhance community relationships and improve quality of life.”  Thank you again for your support, we truly could not do what we do without the generous support of our audience, sponsors, and producers.
