Arts Missoula is so pleased to welcome one of our newest fiscally sponsored organizations: No Joke Theater! Based on Leah Joki’s three decades of experience as a teaching artist, author, Institutional Artist Facilitator, Mentor and Consultant in more than 30 prisons, No Joke Theater offers a complete theatrical experience to the incarcerated and returning citizens. The program focuses on acting, playwriting, directing, stage management and design by using classical, contemporary and original material from which the participants learn responsibility, communication skills, empathy and the desire to live life differently.
