Fort Peck theater brings 'The Glass Menagerie' to Havre

Press release

Following the popularity of last winter's Glasgow and Havre production of "Love Letters" starring Pam L. Vies and Andy Meyers, the Fort Peck Fine Arts Council is presenting a brief Montana tour of a Tennessee Williams classic, "The Glass Menagerie."

Performed in the style of a nostalgic radio broadcast, the cast will again feature Veis and Meyers, as well as Sydney Hayward and Jay Michael Roberts.

The Fort Peck Summer Theatre will perform a reading of Tennessee Williams' "The Glass Menagerie" for one night only in Havre Sunday at Montana State University-Northern's Little Theatre in Cowan Hall. Performance is at 7:30 p.m.

Veis is an audience-favorite actor and director in Havre. At Fort Peck Summer Theatre, she has starred in "Always," "Patsy Cline," "Driving Miss Daisy," and "Steel Magnolias."

Meyers is the artistic director for Fort Peck Summer Theatre, spending the winter months performing and directing at Arizona Broadway Theatre in Phoenix.

Glasgow-native Hayward has made numerous appearances on the Fort Peck  stage, including the leading role of Anne in "Cheaper by the Dozen."

Roberts has worked in the summer company as a scenic designer and actor and is designing a new project for Glasgow's Pioneer Museum.

Proceeds and donations will benefit the Fort Peck Fine Arts Council and Montana Actors, whose mission is to save and preserve the historic Fort Peck Theatre and to entertain through the arts, especially the performing arts; to educate and encourage youth in the arts and to provide a forum for local and regional artists.
