The University of Montana's Co-Lab for Civic Imagination brings its exciting theatre program State of Mind to Polson on April 9th. State of Mind is a unique and engaging theatre and public dialogue event that is touring to over twenty (primarily rural) Montana communities from September 2024 to May 2026.
The project consists of a free theatre performance for the general public, and workshops for local students, school faculty & staff, and local health providers. The performance will take place on April 9th, 6:30 pm, at the Polson High School Library, with workshops taking place there earlier in the day. The workshops will inspire a portion of the performance, ensuring that Polson’s residents’ voices and ideas are a part of the performance, thereby providing a unique experience for each community that State of Mind visits. The Polson residency closes out the following morning, April 10th, at 8:30 am with a community meeting at the North Lake County Public Library. This will be an opportunity for people to reflect on the workshops and performances, and to discuss potential action and engagement around mental health in Polson.
