March is Disabilities Awareness Month and Same Difference Inclusive Theatre Company will be showcasing two plays to highlight and address this very topic. We will be presenting Same Difference: A Developmental Disabilities Awareness Play, in addition to Braille: The Early Life of Louis Braille.

Braille is an account of the early life of Louis Braille, who lived in France in the early 1800’s. When he was 9 years old, he had an accident, and became blind. He went to one of the world’s first Institutes for the Blind, where he developed the system by which blind people read and write today. This happened when he was 15 years old! It is a remarkable story.

For more information on both these shows, including showtimes and a complete cast list for Braille, please visit this page.

We are currently in Production for Seussical for an end-of-December run of performances.

Same Difference is currently in production of The Illustrated Woman, which is a very intense drama about domestic violence, sexual abuse, and mental illness.

It is a fundraiser for Safe Space Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Program, and will be October 20-21st.

This is one of the most socially sigificant productions we have undertaken, and Melissa believes it will be an extremely valuable educational tool. The cast includes: Jancee Hansen, Jean Gibson, Randy Skates, Cory Schneider, Regina Pate-Terry and Melissa Hansen.

Hope to see you there!

The local SDITC crew is currently rehearsing the play to get ready for our performance on Thursday for The Montana Council of Developmental Disabilities. This is a way to thank them for all of their support for the past 3 years.
