But there's this thing in almost any theatrical endeavor that we perceive but rarely talk about, and that isn't included in those notes we read in those short minutes after arriving and before the play starts.

Montanans have been tasting the smoke from faraway fires for several weeks now, but with August comes the heart of Montana’s wildfire season, and with it, smoke from our own collective backyard.
