The curtain will rise for the Bigfork Playhouse Children’s Theater’s production of “Night at the Wax Museum” on Jan. 18 with additional performances on Jan. 19 and 25-27.

In this comedy of historical proportion, the hysterical meets the historical as a group of six unlucky students who don’t know much about history have to re-take the class in summer school.

First-year teacher Heather Fairchild has arranged for them to help her two aunts set up a new wax museum as a class project.

Though the students’ eyes glaze over with boredom, there’s a twinkle in the wax figures’ eyes when a mysterious incantation from the back of Cleopatra’s bracelet brings them to life. King Henry VIII, Cleopatra, Anne Boleyn, Butch Cassidy, Calamity Jane, pirates and more spring to life and are looking for something.

Performances will be at the Bigfork Center for the Performing Arts on Friday and Saturday Jan. 18, 19, 25 and 26. A Sunday matinee will be held on Jan. 27 at 2 p.m.

Special ticket prices are available Jan. 16-17. All tickets purchased these two days are $6 for any performance. The box office is open from 2:30-5:30 p.m. for special ticket prices.

Regular ticket prices are $11 for adults, $9 for seniors, $8 for students and $7 for children under 10 and can be purchased online or at the box office one hour prior to performances.

For more information, call 837-4886 or email bpct@bigforksummerplay house.com or go to www.bigforksummerplayhouse.com and to buy tickets online.

The BPCT is a non-profit corporation dedicated to performance and education of theatre to young people throughout the Flathead.
