MTPR Nov 24th Benefit Cancelled - With Regret

Update - November 20, 2013

With regret, MTPR is cancelling the “Evening with Montana Public Radio” event scheduled for this Sunday, November 24th at the Wilma Theater in Missoula.

Our featured headliner, NPR’s Susan Stamberg, is unexpectedly unable to travel to Missoula this weekend.  Ms. Stamberg is very disappointed and has asked that we let all the MTPR listeners know that she really wishes she could be here. She sends her best wishes for the station and all MTPR supporters.

MTPR extends thanks to Pete Fromm and Philip Aaberg for their understanding.  MTPR will regroup and hopes to plan another event in the new year.

GrizTix will be handling all ticket refunds.
If you purchased with a credit card, GrizTix will issue a full refund of the ticket and fees.

If purchased with cash or check, bring your tickets to the Adams Center Box Office on the UM campus in Missoula for a full refund, by December 20th.
