Orphan Girl Children’s Theatre presents Anastasia, the musical at the Mother Lode Theatre with thanks in part to the Butte Central Drama Club. With central students directly at the helm including Stage Manager Karter Lindau, production team members (and performers) Molly Peck and Caden Tippet, the cast also includes a large collection of BC drama members: Izzy Lopez, Preston Tippet, Bella Crawford, Milly Lopez, Frances Shahan, Carolyn Lopez, Keith Lopez, Zek Otherbull and Lulu Heppler.

Butte Central drama club students have had a unique hands on experience with both the OGCT creative team and the MLT tech staff. Learning new skills including projection images for the stage, set design and building, operation of the fly rail system and more, these students are busy both on the stage and behind the scenes. As an integral part of the production team, these students have learned important stage skills that transfer directly to learning objectives within every curriculum including technology, public speaking, math, literature, world history and geography and beyond.
Anastasia is a musical play with music and lyrics by Stephen Flaherty and Lynn Ahrens, and a book by Terrence McNally. Based on the 20th Century Fox Animation 1997 film of the same name, the musical adapts the legend of the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia, who was rumored to have escaped and survived the execution of the Russian Imperial family. Many years later, an amnesiac young woman named Anya hopes to find some trace of her past by siding with two con men, who wish to take advantage of her resemblance to Anastasia.
