COMMUNITY
PERFORMANCES

At the heart of our mission, we work to expand opportunities in the performing arts for both professional artists and community performers. For adult movers and dancers in our community, we recognize that there might be more interest than there are actual opportunities for professionally produced dance performances. We want to help change that!

Westside theater community productions:

  • 40 Over 40 was our first Community Performance at the Westside Theater.

    Built on the dream of celebrating dancers over the age of 40, it’s safe to say - this is one of the theater’s most enduring legacies to date!

    Currently, we are producing 40 Over 40 every other year, on even years (2024, 2026, 2028, etc). Look for casting call and production info coming out late-summer/early fall prior!

  • Okay… GO! is presented annually as part of Westside Theater’s westFEST New Works Festival.

    It is a showcase of new works… everything from dance to cirque to physical theater. Community members can sign up to choreograph and spearhead performances in the showcase, creating work from solos to large groups.

    In Okay…Go! you get to see Montana’s community showcase their creative juices on the Westside stage!

  • abunDANCE was inspired by 40 Over 40 but this time we opened up the talent pool…

    For dancers of all ages, abunDANCE is the chance to work with professional choreographers and designers to showcase the talent and enthusiasm of our Missoula community.

    From novice to seasoned, all movers are welcome on the abunDANCE stage.

    Currently, we are producing abunDANCE every other year, on odd years (2025, 2027, 2029, etc). Look for casting call and production info coming out late-summer/early fall prior!
