It ran today.

I had the privilege of working with the cast and crew of the Same Difference Inclusive Theatre Company for their production of The Big Bad Musical on May 6, 7 and 8 at their theater at [9]00 W. Broadway here in Butte. It was one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve had in a long time. The theater company is an outreach program of Silver Bow Developmental Disabilities Council and casts local performers with and without disabilities.

I’m grateful to the cast and crew for letting me be a part of this production and encourage everyone in the Butte area to support this worthy endeavor. You can stay abreast of what’s happening with the SDITC by going to their Web site at www.sditc.org.

Thank you SO much, Mike.

Grace is a 90-year-old illiterate Virginian who has been sent home from the hospital to die of cancer.

Gloria is a transplanted New Yorker, a stylish, Harvard-educated M.B.A., a former partner in a major business management concern who is now busying herself as a volunteer for a hospice and has come to attend Grace.

Guess which one of these women really needs help?

Grace and Gloria (whom Grace calls Glorie) are the sole characters in “Grace and Glorie,” the sentimental odd-couple crowd pleaser by Tom Ziegler.

-LAWRENCE VAN GELDER, New York Times

Showtimes are
    Fri 11/6 at 7 p.m.
