Based on the best-selling book by Cheryl Strayed and adapted for the stage by the
Academy Award nominee Nia Vardalos, Tiny Beautiful Things personifies the questions
and answers that the pseudonymous “Sugar” published online from 2010-2012.
When Strayed – a struggling writer – was asked to take over the unpaid position of advice
columnist, she used empathy and her personal experience to help those seeking
guidance for obstacles large and small. Tiny Beautiful Things is a play about reaching
out when you’re stuck, healing when you’re broken, and finding the courage to take on
the questions that have no answers…
Tiny Beautiful Things runs March 1-3 and 8-10. Showtimes are Fridays and Saturdays
at 8pm and Sundays at 3pm. Due to sensitive content, this play is recommended for ages 17+.

Acclaimed novelist, outdoor writer and publisher, Allen Morris Jones will read from his debut poetry collection, Mumblecusser. Jones lives in Bozeman. He is the author of the novels, Last Year’s River, A Bloom of Bones, and Sweeney on the Rocks; the highly influential examination of the ethics of hunting, A Quiet Place of Violence; a Spur Award-winning children’s book, Montana for Kids: The Story of Our State; and co-editor, with William Kittredge, of The Best of Montana’s Short Fiction. He has published more than 100 short stories, articles, essays, and poems. A former editor of Big Sky Journal and an acquisitions editor for the Lyons Press, he is the publisher of his own small book house, Bangtail Press, and he has appeared as a guest essayist on Jim Lehrer’s “PBS NewsHour,” lectured to the Outdoor Writer’s Association of America…
Of Mumblecusser, Jones writes, “These poems as far as I can tell now, are about late-life fatherhood, they’re about aging and mortality, they’re about trying to see clearly. They’re about trying to discover what I think. They’re exercises in self-pity and self-absorption. They are coins tossed off the back of a train. … They’re doorstops you trip over and Rorschach oil spills you slide across. Most of all, though, they’re the rubberized ceiling straps you grab onto when the bus lurches away from the curb.”
Elk River Books is located at 122 S. 2nd St. in downtown Livingston. The free event begins at 7 p.m., and a book signing and reception will follow. For more information, send an email to call (406) 333-2330.

Philosopher and author CHRISTOPHER J. PRESTON will discuss his book, “Tenacious Beasts: Wildlife Recoveries That Change How We Think about Animals”, in which he takes a look at several animal species that are defying the tendency toward extinction.
The news about wildlife is dire—more than 900 species have been wiped off the planet since industrialization. Against this bleak backdrop, however, there are glimmers of hope and crucial lessons to be learned from animals that have defied global trends toward extinction: bears in Italy, bison in North America, whales in the Atlantic Ocean. These populations are back from the brink, some of them in numbers unimaginable….
Drawing on compelling personal stories from the researchers, Indigenous people, and activists who know the creatures best, Preston weaves together a gripping narrative of how some species are taking back vital ecological roles. Each section of the book—farms, prairies, rivers, forests, oceans—offers a philosophical shift in how humans ought to think about animals, passionately advocating for the changes in attitude necessary for wildlife recovery.
