🫣 Catch a sneak peek of the incredibly beautiful set for Can’t Drink Salt Water, a new play by Kendra Mylnechuk Potter — premiering Saturday, February 14 in the Montana Theatre, University of Montana campus.

Presented by Montana Repertory Theatre, in partnership with UM School of Theatre and Dance, Can’t Drink Salt Water is supported by a transformative grant from The Roy Cockrum Foundation, allowing for a large-scale production full of theatrical magic and special effects.

This gripping new play juxtaposes a mother’s relentless search for her missing daughter with the journey of a young woman newly arrived at Bethel House, an evangelical shelter for victims of sex trafficking. This timely story weaves together Native identity, maternal grief, contemporary religious faith, humor, and a call to action.
