Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northwest Montana

Community Based Program
This is the “traditional” BBBS model in which a mentor (Big) and a mentee (Little) meet 2-3 hours each week outside of the home and school setting. Our Bigs make arrangements with the parent(s)/guardian(s) for a weekly activities with the Little. These outings can be as simple as a walk to the park to throw a frisbee or a trip to the local art studio to paint together. We know that the specific activity is not important, what is important is consistency, kindness, and a desire to grow together.

School – Based Program
Site-Based Programs: Our School Buddies program is designed to allow mentors to meet an elementary student at their school during normal school hours. Bigs meet their Littles for one hour each week, often during lunch and/or recess, for activities such as shooting hoops on the school playground or visiting the school library for board games. High School students are eligible to serve as mentors in this program

Our Site-Based Plus: is the same program as our School Buddies, an hour a week together at the Little’s school, with the addition of an opportunity to meet off school campus one time each month for an activity in the community. We see this is our best of both worlds program.

Spring Festival Mozart Requiem and Mahler

On Saturday, April 30 and Sunday May 1, 2022, the Spring Festival Mozart Requiem And Mahler is coming to the Flathead High School Performance Hall. This year is Maestro Zoltek’s 25th year as the music director and conductor and each year is even better than the last.

Spring Festival Mozart Requiem and Mahler Details

On the program is Mozart’s “Requiem”, an iconic piece surrounded by folklore. Anyone who has seen the play or movie “Amadeus” knows that the piece was commissioned by a mysterious stranger in a grey cloak a few months before the composer’s death. Fantasy has it that the stranger was Mozart’s “rival” Salieri and that the composer was poisoned or that Death himself commissioned the work knowing that he was coming for Mozart soon. The truth is that the piece was commissioned by a man who had a habit of doing so anonymously so that he could claim the work as his own and that in this case it was to commemorate his deceased wife. Because Mozart died at about 1 a.m. on December 5th when he had completed only the first two movements of the work, it was finished by one of his pupils so that his widow Constanze would be paid. But then again, on the day he died Mozart said, “Didn’t I say before that I was writing this Requiem for myself?” And, according to one eyewitness account, “his last movement was an attempt to express with his mouth the drum passages in the Requiem.” So who knows the truth? Except that it is one of the most transcendent choral works ever written. And you have the rare opportunity to hear it performed LIVE by the Glacier Symphony and Chorale with spectacular guest soloists! Don’t miss out on Spring Festival Mozart Requiem Mahler 2022!

Sense and Sensibility

There is still time to get your tickets to the Sense and Sensibility Whitefish Theatre Co production. Only 3 shows remain of Sense and Sensibility, Kate Hamill’s exuberant and theatrical adaptation of Jane Austen’s perennial favorite. The Dashwood sisters – prudent Elinore and impulsive Marianne – find their world turned upside down after their father’s death, which robs them of their wealth, social standing, and most importantly, chances for marriage. Mix in a few dashing love interests and a gaggle of gossipy socialites, the sisters must learn to mix sense with sensibility, their opposite temperaments, to find true happiness. Called “inventive, faithful, and clever”, this marvelous play will delight Austen fans and novices alike.

Sense and Sensibility Details

DATES/TIMES: April 14, 15, and 16 at 7:30pm.

DIRECTOR: Nancy Nei

CAST: Jessica Henkelmann, Desiree Albonetti-Roberson, David Reese, Matt Strool, Dawn Watland, Andrew Matulionis, Scarlett Schindler, Annelise Mason, Scott Plotkin, Nicki Corne, Stuart Green, Jan Simpson, and Jessa Ash.

Get your tickets – HERE.

DIRECTOR’S NOTES: NANCY NEI

Producing Sense and Sensibility has been a roller coaster ride for everyone involved as the set is like a giant puzzle of multiple scenes in a dozen locations. Multiple columns of varying sizes are assembled by the actors to become the furniture of various elegant rooms in palatial English houses, as well as the cottage the Dashwood sisters are forced to move to when their father dies. All of this adds to a very theatrical and playful version of this honored story that continues to touch on modern themes – how two young women who suffer misfortune and societal pressures find family, resilience and their personal voice.
