The Lowe Family Wednesday, October 7, 2009 - 8:00 pm
....Think Colossal.... 

Then think beyond. Only then do you have an idea of the titanic amount of talent within the musical Lowe Family.” For those who have never seen the Lowe Family perform, the words of entertainment reporter Julie Kilmer seem to offer a glimpse of what they could be missing. Indeed, with over 250,000 hours of practicing, 10,000 music lessons, 50 instruments, and 25 years entertaining, the Lowe Family had  earned the reputation as America’s Most Talented Family.
  
Through music, song, and dance, the Lowe Family shares their talents via TV, radio, and live performances throughout the world.  Versatile with many instruments, the Lowes offer an amazing blend of show-stopping classical, Broadway, Irish, jazz, bluegrass, old-time favorites, spectacular dance, 6-part harmony, gospel, and more.  The Lowe Family is based in Branson, Missouri where they spend several months performing in the Lawrence Welk Theatre throughout the year. When they’re not in Branson, you might find them close to you as they tour throughout the United States with select international dates.

OF MICE AND MEN Tuesday, November 3, 2009 - 8:00 pm
A compelling tale of two migrant workers. George and Lennie
dream of a place they can call their own. But as all too often happens, “the best laid schemes o’ mice and men” go awry in John Steinbeck’s timeless masterpiece.

The WEDDING SINGER, Tuesday, January 12. 2010 - 8:00 pm
...it’s 1985 and rock-star wannabe Robbie Heart is New Jersey’s favorite wedding singer. He’s the life of the party, until his own fiancé leaves him at the altar. Shot through the heart, Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own. When he meets an admiring young waitress, it’s love at first sight. Only trouble is Julie is about to be married to a Wall Street shark, and unless Robbie can pull off the performance of a decade, the girl of his dreams will be gone forever. With a score that pays loving homage to the pop songs of the 1980’s, THE WEDDING SINGER takes us back to a time when hair was big, greed was good, collars were up, and a wedding singer might just be the coolest guy in the room.

 In the hands of Ken Ludwig, this tale of mistaken identities, human foibles, and loves lost and found (not to mention cross-dressing) comes alive in a hilarious romp that has had great success in regional theatres around the country. Delightfully silly, Leading Ladies follows the adventures of Jack and Leo, two down-on-their-luck Shakespearean actors, who hope to scam their way out of the Moose Lodge circuit by posing as the long-lost nephews of Florence, an elderly and apparently dying heiress. When our heroes learn that Florence’s missing relatives are nieces, not nephews, they ransack their costume trunks and don women’s clothing—but their successful masquerade proves problematic when Leo falls head-over-heels for Florence’s winsome niece, Meg.  
  
Will Jack and Leo inherit millions and spend the rest of their lives in the lap of luxury: Will Meg marry her stuffy, fortune-hunting fiancé or follow her dream of seeing the big, wide world? Slapstick goofiness, scrambled Shakespeare, and good-natured laughs make Leading Ladies an irresistible treat.  
  
Montana Rep is dedicated to exploring the national character through great American stories. We feel confident that Leading Ladies has the singular power.
