Bigfork Playhouse Children’s Theater performs ‘Night at the Wax Museum’

The Bigfork Playhouse Children’s Theater presents “Night at the Wax Museum” — a comedy of historical proportion — at 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Jan. 27, and 28, Feb. 3 and 4, with a Sunday matinee at 2 p.m. on Feb. 5., at the Bigfork Center for the Performing Arts.

The hysterical meets the historical in this comic romp through the wackiest wax museum in history. School’s out for summer but not for six unlucky students who don’t know much about history — they have to re-take history 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 characters are featured in the wax museum. All these historical characters have returned and are looking for something. Come to the play to see how the students survive their first-hand history lesson. This production is fun for the entire family.

Regular ticket prices are $14 for adults, $12 for seniors, $11 for students and $10 for children under 10. Tickets can be purchased online or at the box office one hour prior to performances.
