Montana Repertory Theatre to Present VENUS IN FUR

Performing Arts at the University of Montana, will present David Ives's funny, insightful and masterful Venus in Fur for two nights only in August. Venus in Fur, a hit of the 2012 Broadway season, has had a full and remarkable life in regional theatres around the country. Montana Rep is delighted to be bringing this work to Missoula audiences with its Visions and Voices program.

Visions and Voices was created by Montana Rep to give voice to new works or the reworking of classical works, seeking to make theatre relevant, vibrant and entertaining to the Missoula community.

The New York Times describes Venus in Fur as a "suspense-packed study of the erotics (and semiotics) of power ... [that] provides a seriously smart and very funny stage seminar on the destabilizing nature of sexual desire: vanilla-flavored, kink-festooned or anything in between."

Heading this two-actor play are Montana Rep veterans Hugh Bickley and Kate Scott, directed by Montana Rep artistic director Greg Johnson.

Montana Rep and the DDC have combined forces to present multiple modest production events of high literary and entertainment value with the best of Missoula theatre artists. It is the Rep's goal to invigorate, excite, amuse and entertain Missoula audiences with theatre fare that asks you to think, laugh, cry, argue, disagree, and leave the theatre somehow moved, amused and changed.
