Singing Resistance
RESISTANCE SONG CIRCLE hosted by Singing Resistance Missoula, A.K.A. Missoula Resists SALT (Sing-Along Together)!
ALL ARE WELCOME to join the mass movement of singers protecting & caring for our communities in the face of rising authoritarianism. We are taking regular action grounded in love, solidarity, defiant joy, and noncooperation.
We sing songs that are simple, taught-by-ear, and are relevant to these times. While short, simple, and repetitive by design, the songs hold deep themes around the human experiences of grief, righteous rage, courage, and love.
All voices welcome! You do NOT need to be a "good" singer to come make good trouble.
No musical experience necessary, just bring yourself exactly as you are.
Our goals:
♡ ...to become more prepared for ongoing & escalating authoritarian threats by building community infrastructure that keeps us more secure.
♡ ...to heal from the impacts of living in an oppressive society by reclaiming our capacity to feel and express emotion, to connect deeply with each other, and to act in solidarity across differences.
♡ ...to end all oppressive systems. We sing not only for the world that we want to create, but to create that world right here and now.
Singing has historically been a critical part of social movements globally as well as here in the U.S., with songs rooted in spirituals, folk, and gospel music. While our project is secular, it is heavily inspired by these movements, including: South Africa's Anti-Apartheid Movement, Estonia's Singing Revolution, the U.S. Civil Rights Movement, and U.S. labor movements. We believe in the POWER OF THE PEOPLE to shape our future!
Always free. Please consider donating to Free Cycles as a THANK YOU for welcoming us to their wonderful space."

American Buffalo, A Play by David Mamet
American Buffalo by David Mamet opens in Missoula on August 5th. This landmark play explores greed, capitalism and the corrupted American Dream, themes that are unfortunately as relevant today as they were when it was first produced in 1975. Widely considered one of the most influential plays of the late 20th century, American Buffalo is a perfect blend of comedy and drama written in the signature style of one of the great icons of modern American Theatre. The play is widely produced to this day, and past productions have featured acting legends like Robert Duvall, Al Pacino, Laurence Fishburne, and John Leguizamo.
American Buffalo is being co-produced by Room 131 Productions and Inflatable Moose (which is TV writer/producer Ron Fitzgerald’s company). The three-person cast features longtime collaborators and UM Theatre graduates Salina Chatlain, Andy Greenfield, and Bobby Gutierrez, with Gutierrez doubling as Director. This trio was first onstage and on the road together in Montana Repertory Theatre’s 2003 Educational Outreach Tour of The Diaries of Adam and Eve (written by Ron Fitzgerald), and are reuniting for a decidedly less G-rated event!
Performaces take place in the Streetside Center at Free Cycles, and are limited to 30 attendees per show. Shows take place on: August 5, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15, 19, 20, 21, 22. To reserve a seat (with payment of $10 at the door on the evening of the performance), and to learn more about the play and the people behind the play, please visit:

End-Of-Life Documents Workshop: Your Wishes Your Voice
Your Wishes, Your Voice: END-OF-LIFE DOCUMENTS WORKSHOP.
If something unexpected happened tomorrow, would your loved ones know what you want?
Most of us mean to complete our end-of-life paperwork, but we just don’t get around to it. Not because it isn’t important — but because it feels overwhelming, confusing, or easy to postpone.
This workshop helps you move it from “someday” to done.
Join three local death midwives for a small, guided working session where you will:
Learn what end-of-life documents are actually needed in Montana
Reflect on your personal values and wishes
Begin your advance directive
Designate a healthcare representative and a financial power of attorney
Understand the basics of estate planning and related documents
Ask tough questions in a supportive, grounded space
Access a notary to finalize documents before you leave
We will present key information, but this is not a lecture. This is dedicated time to sit down and take care of something that matters.
This workshop is for:
Adults of any age without an advance directive
Caregivers
Those supporting aging parents
Anyone who wants to reduce stress for their loved ones
People who value preparedness and clarity
You do not need to be ill. You do not need to be elderly. You simply need to care about the people who would be left making decisions.
We often hear families say, “We didn’t know what they wanted.” Planning ahead is one of the most practical and loving things you can do.
Walk away with meaningful progress, greater clarity, and peace of mind.
Register in advance: We intentionally keep this workshop small so everyone can receive individual support.
Early bird and buddy deals
Register early (before September 15th) and save $5 on your ticket with the code EARLY5. Early registrants will also receive copies of the main forms in advance, for review.
Because these topics can feel easier with support, we offer a Buddy Discount. Register with a partner, friend, or parent and receive $5 off each ticket using the code BUDDY10.
Plan ahead. Ease the burden. Leave clarity behind.

A Night at the Grand Opera: A Giant Puppet Show with String & Shadow (bonus show!)
Bonus Show! String and Shadow returns for one more show on Sunday, July 19th, at 7pm. All are welcome. Spread the word!
Set in an old European opera house during the golden age of Grand Opera, Night at the Grand Opera is a frenzied romp through a candlelit night at the Opera.
Rococo extravagance is fashioned with elaborate cardboard sets that collapse and unfold to reveal the many great dramas of the opera house (not all of which happen on stage.)
Love triangles, converging revolutionary plots, art-loving flies and disaffected vermin are brought to life with cardboard and paper-mache!
donations accepted!
String and Shadow Puppet Theater is a theater company based in Olympia, Washington. With cardboard, fabric, and paper mache, their visually stunning performances incorporate music, dance, and circus arts to tell original stories that engage the imaginations of their audiences. In the words of an audience member, "String and Shadow's worlds of fantasy and fable pluck at the strings of universal innocence, wonder, and joy." Emerging during the pandemic with Drive-In performances, String and Shadow aims to strengthen communities and provide accessible art, often through donation-based or free events. Since 2023, they have toured regionally and nationally throughout the United States.

Singing Resistance
RESISTANCE SONG CIRCLE hosted by Singing Resistance Missoula, A.K.A. Missoula Resists SALT (Sing-Along Together)!
ALL ARE WELCOME to join the mass movement of singers protecting & caring for our communities in the face of rising authoritarianism. We are taking regular action grounded in love, solidarity, defiant joy, and noncooperation.
We sing songs that are simple, taught-by-ear, and are relevant to these times. While short, simple, and repetitive by design, the songs hold deep themes around the human experiences of grief, righteous rage, courage, and love.
All voices welcome! You do NOT need to be a "good" singer to come make good trouble.
No musical experience necessary, just bring yourself exactly as you are.
Our goals:
♡ ...to become more prepared for ongoing & escalating authoritarian threats by building community infrastructure that keeps us more secure.
♡ ...to heal from the impacts of living in an oppressive society by reclaiming our capacity to feel and express emotion, to connect deeply with each other, and to act in solidarity across differences.
♡ ...to end all oppressive systems. We sing not only for the world that we want to create, but to create that world right here and now.
Singing has historically been a critical part of social movements globally as well as here in the U.S., with songs rooted in spirituals, folk, and gospel music. While our project is secular, it is heavily inspired by these movements, including: South Africa's Anti-Apartheid Movement, Estonia's Singing Revolution, the U.S. Civil Rights Movement, and U.S. labor movements. We believe in the POWER OF THE PEOPLE to shape our future!
Always free. Please consider donating to Free Cycles as a THANK YOU for welcoming us to their wonderful space."

A Night at the Grand Opera: A Giant Puppet Show with String & Shadow
Set in an old European opera house during the golden age of Grand Opera, Night at the Grand Opera is a frenzied romp through a candlelit night at the Opera.

Love triangles, converging revolutionary plots, art-loving flies and disaffected vermin are brought to life with cardboard and paper-mache!
