Fort Peck Summer Theatre is opening Around The World In 80 Days...Or 37 Minutes!

Sydney Hayward serves as Tour Manager, with designs by Chae Clearwood (costumes), Treyson Sherk (scenic) and Paisley Wanamaker (props).

Said Fort Peck Fine Arts Council executive director Jennifer Fewer, “In this original comedy with music, an eccentric inventor embarks on a fever-paced globe-trotting journey, and along the way is enlightened by different cultures, explores famous landmarks and fills up his passport with memories of brilliant, though often madcap escapades.”

Around the World in 80 Days…or 37 Minutes! is written by Fort Peck artistic director Andy Meyers and produced in partnership with emerging company AM Theatrical. Music is arranged by Jane Best. AM Theatrical has developed this original piece with special support from Valley County Community Foundation.
