Director Tessa Welsch

Tashia Gates of Roberts and James Liddell of Los Angeles star in Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning playwright John Patrick Shanley’s Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, directed by Tessa Welsch of Livingston. The one-act play will be presented July 25, 26, and 27 (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday) at 7:00 p.m. at The One Legged Magpie in Red Lodge. You can buy tickets ($27.38 each) and get more information HERE. This production is recommended for those over the age of 18.
