https://penielenv.com/v1fxvsi7gy Many thanks to The Big Sky Journal, Montana’s premiere lifestyle magazine, for featuring my photo essay on Montana Shakespeare in the Parks in their 2010 ARTS issue. Big Sky Journal sent me out in the field with the troupe, and I was able to enjoy three (albeit rainy) nights with MSIP while they were stationed at the Grove in Bozeman.

Shots of the actors setting up, working behind the stage, laughing with each other before they go onstage. I wanted to capture and document the whole experience, not just the side of the performance that the audience sees.

enter The troupe, renown for their superb acting and colorful costuming, outdid themselves this year with their performances of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ and ‘Julius Caesar’. Of note, only the cast of ten actors travels. They are wholly responsible for driving to the next location, setting up (often in high-altitude summer heat), costuming and, of course, acting. Then they tear down, repack, drive to the next town and do it all over again. Suffice to say this is not a job for the faint of heart.
