WORLD PREMIERE

LA can be a hard place to live, and Joe is about to give up and move back to Montana, the place he escaped from years before. But when he returns, will it be the same place with the same people, and will that be any better? Director Joe Baken plays more than 15 characters in this semi-autobiographical story that recalls an incident that serves as the motivation behind all the characters. While dealing with serious subjects, Joe Gives Up And Moves To Montana uses humor and even some pathos to make the story accessible and fresh. Did we mention the director made his own costumes as well? A remarkable tour de force harkens Joe Baken as a director and actor, and actor, and actor to watch!
