Closing Night Celebration:
Not Your Montana Logging & Ballet Company
Sunday, November 18, 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM
St. Luke's United Methodist Church

The Spirit & Place Festival concludes with an evening of high hilarity. Using original songs, skits, and satirical humor, this innovative performing troupe draws from headlines of the day to poke fun at other-than-generous nations, communities, and individuals. When asked why he visited Helena, Montana, Archbishop Desmond Tutu responded, “Of all places, it is the one with the Montana Logging and Ballet Company.”

Tickets are $15. All proceeds benefit the Mar Elias Educational Institutions, an interfaith program in Ibiliin, Israel, whose founder, Bishop Elias Chacour, was nominated three times for the Nobel Peace Prize. Learn more...

The International Nurses Society on Addictions awarded their annual Community Service/Advocacy Award to Donna Wing on October 12, 2007 for her work in A Piece of My Heart, a 2005 Spirit & Place event presented by the Oaklandon Civic Theater. A Piece of My Heart is the inspiring true story of six courageous women sent to Vietnam and their poignant struggle to make sense of a war that changed them. Donna Wing, EdD, RN, CARN, produced the play and facilitated a post-performance dialogue. Congratulations, Dr. Wing!

See Wing in 84 Charing Cross Road this Friday and Saturday.
