Two weekends of Cowboy Christmas at college
In spirit of the holiday season, Flathead Valley Community College Theatre will bring the world-premiere musical comedy “Cowboy Christmas” to the college’s Kalispell campus Dec. 4-6 and Dec. 11-13. Performances are at 7 p.m. in the FVCC Theatre in the Arts and Technology Building.
Written and directed by husband and wife FVCC Theatre adjunct professors Nick and Rebecca Spear, this quirky, heart-warming comedy tells the story of a Northwest Montana guest ranch that has fallen on hard financial times. Along with the decision to open during the holidays for the first time, the ranch owners also added a Christmas-themed gift shop to help make ends meet. Will the bank come to repossess the ranch on Christmas? Or will a mystery millionaire guest be consumed by the spirit of giving and save the day? Either way, the Spears are promising a holiday season to remember.
