A Heartwarming and Hilarious Holiday Comedy! It's Christmas and Allie and Kevin are far from home in the maternity ward of an Ohio hospital, anxiously waiting for the birth of the child that they are hoping to adopt. And though they have asked their families to respect their privacy for the moment and let them have a quiet Christmas together, their crazy families ignore their wishes and descend upon the waiting room – complete with an entourage in tow. A sudden barrage of quirky family members arrives along with stepmothers, upstairs neighbors, a veterinarian, and an author to name a few – as well as a very pregnant birth mother who goes missing in all the action. Let Nothing You Dismay by Topher Payne (Evelyn In Purgatory, The Baby Shower) is a lightning-paced holiday farce that celebrates what it really means to be family. "Laugh-out-loud funny, and a touching reminder of how much more alike we are than we realize." - Atlanta Journal-Constitution "In this day and age when a nuclear family is a relic of the past, and many times our family is made up of those we have chosen, this show is a Christmas story for everyone." - Anchorage Press "The perfect gift this holiday season." - The Examiner Preview Performance December 3d TICKETS: Adults $25, Seniors $20, Students $10 December 4-7 and 11-14, 2025 Th-Sat shows at 7:30pm, Sun shows at 4:00pm SPONSORED BY: Judy & John Melin Kristin Zuckerman - Engel & Volkers Trovare Glacier Bank Stuart Green: Masterpiece Carpet One Preview tickets are general admission sold at the box office on the night of the preview performance ONLY!

Doors Open at 6:30PM A Night of Music, Storytelling, and Shared Humanity Viewing the world through an empathetic lens, Jordan Lane transforms lived experience into lyrical honesty and raw musical soul. His songs are his journal; his guitar, the tool through which he finds courage and connection. Blending Americana, Folk, and Soul, Jordan invites you into his world, one built on humble reflection, shared energy, and an unshakable sense of togetherness. Now, Jordan is taking that spirit on the road with his ambitious 56 Counties Challenge, performing in every county in Montana within one year. What began as a viral journey has grown into something bigger- the Backroads & Ballads Tour. A celebration of community, storytelling, and the power of music to bring people together. Expect more than just a concert. Between soulful melodies and rootsy, heartfelt lyrics, Jordan shares the hilarious, moving, and sometimes absurd stories gathered from the highways and small towns of Montana. His performances are equal parts laughter and reflection, a nostalgic hug with a kick of whiskey. “This world is so divided, but we don’t have to be,” Jordan reminds us. Come be part of the journey, one night, one community, one unforgettable experience.
