Hip Strip Hijinks

Inspired by the vibrant local businesses along Missoula's iconic Hip Strip, Hip Strip Hijinks presents a series of five new 10-minute plays written by nationally renowned playwrights. Patrons will meet up at GILD Brewing and then walk to five nearby establishments, including the lively atmosphere of Betty’s Divine and the eclectic vibes of Ear Candy, to watch plays that are designed to capture the essence of their host businesses and to offer an immersive and theatrical experience after hours.

Written by Josh Bonzie, Lisa Sanaye Dring, Emily Feldman, Paul Kruse, and Sam Myers, Hip Strip Hijinks features a talented cast of local Missoula actors and University of Montana Theater and Dance students. The five plays will be performed in Betty’s Divine, Ear Candy, GILD, Le Petit Outre, and Wild Side (a new shop moving into what is now Compass Barber Shop).
