POLSON — The final show of the Port Polson Players 48th summer season is the romantic comedy/drama, “Butterflies Are Free.” Ellie Dupuis plays a free-spirited hippie who moves into an adjoining apartment occupied by a blind budding musician, played by Kyle Alexander. Rounding out the four-person cast are Shellie Winebrenner, as mother of the blind boy, and Eric Donovan, portraying an ‘Off-Broadway’ theatre producer.
Butterflies plays through August 27 at Polson’s 1938 Live Theatre on the south end of Flathead Lake. Curtain time Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays is 7:30 p.m., with 2 p.m. Sunday matinees; no shows Mondays, Tuesdays or Wednesdays.
Produced by Port Polson Players in association with Mission Valley Friends of the Arts, “Butterflies Are Free” is a delightful retro step back to the early ‘70s. As a side note, the play’s author, Leonard Gershe, based his script on the life of blind attorney, author and activist Harold Krents. Make reservations for this broadway and film classic at 406-883-9212 or PortPolsonPlayers.com. Due to its sophisticated storyline, the show is not recommended for elementary school-age children.
