THE TORTOISE vs THE HARE ,
Time: 12:00pm. Tickets: $9.00; $12.00 adults
Presented by Missoula Children's Theatre it's "The Tortoise Vs. The Hare". The inhabitants of Sandy Bottoms are preparing the annual race between Reptiles and Mammals. The Hare's weasely managers brag about their racing star as the reptiles assemble to choose their candidate. Fan clubs are preparing cheers as the big day draws near. As we see the race through the eyes of a TV news team covering the event, we discover that there is more than a sporting rivalry between the brown animals and the green animals. Loyalties to their specific colors create a real animosity among these creatures. The wisdom of the old tortoise and the lesson learned by the cocky hare remind us all that "color is just a color - it's just decorated skin." In the end, the animals realize the folly of their ways and live happily together in their sandy home.

COMMENTARY
Memorial Day
It is the
VETERAN,
not the preacher,
who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the
VETERAN,
not the campus organizer,
who has given us freedom to assemble.
It is the
VETERAN,
not the lawyer,
who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the
VETERAN,
not the politician,
Who has given us the right to vote.
ETERNAL REST GRANT THEM O LORD, AND LET PERPETUAL LIGHT SHINE UPON THEM.
