Emmy Award-winning comedienne Vicki Lawrence is one of the most beloved television personalities of her generation. As a member of the now-legendary cast of The Carol Burnett Show, she created her most endearing character to date, Thelma Harper, or “Mama” as she is better known to her fans. Lawrence went on to star in Mama’s Family, which consistently topped the ratings for its entire six-year run. Lawrence takes the stage first in a show that is not a retrospective, but a mixture of stand-up comedy, music, and observations about real life.

Join the Viterbo music department as they present two one-act operas. In Riders to the Sea, Maurya, an elderly Irishwoman, has lost her husband, father-in-law, and four of her sons to the sea. The opera opens as her fifth son, Michael, has been found washed ashore and her youngest son, Bartley, prepares to leave for the coast. The Impresario is a comedic opera which tells the tale of Frank, the impresario, who auditions Madame Goldentrill and Miss Silverpeal to be part of his new theatrical company. While both are hired, an argument ensues about who will get the leading role and who will be the highest paid.

Would it surprise you to know that the story of Rapunzel happened in France? Well it didn’t really, but Missoula Children’s Theatre’s story takes you on a frivolous frolic through the French countryside. Frenchy and his intense friends, the Wood Elves, do their best to help Rapunzel escape the grasp of Madame Gothel with the assistance of the lost Prince, Rapunzel’s parents, and her friends the unicorns. Rapunzel and the rest of the characters tell a silly tale of personal triumph and friendship in this original adaptation.

Ireland’s greatest playwright weaves an intoxicating tale of nostalgia and stark reality in this Tony Award®-winning masterpiece. Drift back to late summer 1936 in County Donegal, where the Mundy sisters prepare for their village’s harvest celebration. Their brother Michael, a priest, returns from the mission fields to remind his sisters—and all of us—of our desperate need for community, happiness, dancing, and celebration.

Orpheus in the Underworld is a slightly scandalous satire of Gluck’s opera Orpheus and Eurydice and is often referred to as the first full-length operetta. It is most widely known for the Infernal Galop (Can-Can), which shocked the first audiences. The melodramatic antics of Greek gods, Orpheus, Eurydice, Public Opinion, and Love Police will entertain you with comedy and beautiful music.

Ticket PricesAll tickets include a $1 per ticket facility surcharge.

PaymentCredit card information for the full amount must accompany each order. Orders are processed upon receipt, and credit cards are charged the day your order is processed. All orders are subject to a $4 handling fee and $1 mail delivery charge.

TicketsDue to fire codes, everyone, including infants, must have a ticket. In consideration of others, do not bring children under the age of three to major shows. There will be no refunds for individual ticket sales. Because touring events occasionally reschedule, programs, artists, and performance dates are subject to change. In the unlikely event of a change of date or cancellation, the change will be announced as early as possible, and an attempt will be made to contact all ticket holders.

Box Office HoursThe Fine Arts Center Box Office is open from 11 a.m.–5 p.m. Monday–Friday. For weekday performances in the main theatre, the box office will remain open from 11 a.m. through the performance. For Saturday and Sunday performances in the main theatre or at the Weber Center for the Performing Arts, the box office will open two hours prior to the first performance and will remain open through the performance. For performances in the black box theatre or recital hall, the box office will open one hour prior to the performance in the lobby of the respective venue.

ExchangesTickets may be exchanged for another performance of the same production. Exchanges must be completed prior to the date of the originally scheduled performance, and an exchange fee of $2 per order will apply. This exchange fee will be waived for current season ticket holders.

Gift CertificatesTickets make great gifts for any occasion. Gift certificates are available year-round in any dollar amount and can be used for any performance.

AccessibilityWheelchair seating is available for patrons with a disability. Notify the box office when purchasing tickets so proper arrangements can be made.
