Stay Safe – Together We Will Overcome This Coronavirus Pandemic.

Port Polson Players in association with MVFA have selected the following titles to provide laughter, music AND heartfelt sentiment for much-needed escape and reflection when THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC has been curtailed.

All productions will be performed at Polson’s Beautiful Theatre on Flathead Lake when it is safe to do so. NOTE: Short descriptions for a few shows are included here. No production dates will be listed until the Theatre reopens.

Dirty Work At The Cross Roads

A Melodramatic Comedy features a cast of 20 talented Mission Valley Performers!

The Pin-Up Girls

Is a musical love letter honoring our Vets, written by James Hindman and Jeffrey Lodin. Nicknamed “The Pin–Up Girls” by a grandpa of one of the singers (when they were all sixth-graders), this trio of adult hometown gals (and a brother who fills in at the last minute) is full of nostalgia and pride for all who served in the U.S. Military. With tunes ranging from the Andrew Sisters to Hip-Hop, the foursome sings a cavalcade of hits inspired by letters home from our troops, paying tribute to times of conflict from WWI through Afghanistan and in between.

Frances Connery, Courtney Quincy, Katie Velde and Joseph Kellogg appear in “The Pin-Up Girls,” directed by Anna Loehrke

No Coward’s Epitaph

The musical account of the astonishing life and legacy of Thomas Francis Meagher, the Irish Patriot who became Montana’s first acting Territorial Governor.
