The Shane Lalani Center for the Arts Presents “Timeless Perception” — Written and Performed by the Students of the Devised Theatre Initiative

This weekend, students of the Devised Theatre Initiative will present their original work titled “Timeless Perception” with a talk back immediately following. Performances will be Friday, November 21st at 7:30 pm, Saturday, November 22nd at 7:30 pm, and Sunday, November 23rd at 3 pm.

The Shane Center’s Devised Theatre Initiative (DTI) allows students ages 13 to 17 to explore contemporary social issues and prepare a collaborative artistic performance together for the community and their peers, using their own voices. By encouraging students to openly address difficult topics, bridges can be formed that mitigate feelings of social isolation. For the past six weeks, Education Directors, Sarah Kelly and Devon Johnson, have been working side-by-side with a fantastic group to create, write, and build an original show that will address an issue these young folks would like to share with our community. This year’s piece is titled “Timeless Perception” and explores the different futuristic possibilities shaped by the choices we’re making today. These young artists have poured their hearts into this piece, and they’d love to have the community there cheering them on.

Tickets will be available online at https://theshanecenter.ludus.com/index.php or by calling the Box Office at 406 222 1420. Education programming at the Shane Center is generously sponsored by the David F. Simpson Scholarship Fund; Chico Hot Springs Resort; the Crazy Mountain Ranch; the GlassyBaby Foundation; the Dennis and Phyllis Washington Foundation; the Casazza Family Foundation; AMB West; and is supported in part by grants from the Montana Arts Council, an agency of the state government; and by the National Endowment for the Arts.
