Dear Friends and Fans,
I am so excited to share with you all that our cast and crew is back with another immersive theatrical experience: a stirring, haunting, supernatural forest known as BLACK WOOD.
You all will remember in 2019, our production BASEMENT introduced us to the darker side of Gunnar Montana Productions. This year we are venturing back into the darkness, and this show has it all - witches, scorned lovers, cannibals, and creatures of the night... back flips, aerial and as always, a little stage magic.
We’ve had so much fun over the past two years living in this bright, vibrant, happy-go-lucky queer realm. We created a place where we could come together to dance, celebrate, smile and let loose. This year, I want to mix it up a little, and embrace the sorcery and enchantment of the world around us. There is a lot of complexity in the facets of artistry and balance that comes with the exploration of both the good and the unsettling.
Guests will be invited into BLACK WOOD to open their minds, and expand their horizons. I’m personally designing this show to feel like a complete escape from reality. A deep dive into suspense, and the unknown. We've assembled an incredibly talented cast and crew, including some new faces, and rehearsals and set building are underway.
Now, the only thing missing is YOU!
If you know my work, you know we spare no expense in creating a special experience for each of you, and so I want to personally invite you to be part of this show by making a donation to support our creative process. THANK YOU!
