MGA presents "Betty the Yeti" by Jon Klein, a play set deep in the forests of Northern Oregon where environmentalists and loggers clash over the future of the land. The story follows Russ T. Sawyer, a logger mourning his unemployment and his marriage, who encounters a female sasquatch in the wild. Russ must decide whether to protect the creature he names Betty or follow the politics of his trade, leading to an unexpected and complicated relationship.
Directed by MGA faculty and featuring a cast of both students and local residents, this production explores the battle between natural preservation and the livelihoods of those who depend on the timber industry. Tickets and seating are available on a first-come, first-served basis for all three evening performances.
