The Mikado, Re-written for Contemporary Montana

"We want to eliminate every reference to Japan, change all the character and place names, and make fun of our region." Sakir says. "Take out the Japanese lords and school girls and replace them with local Montanan hipsters, skiers, and ranchers. Adapting The Mikado in this way not only addresses the problems of the original work, but offers a unique opportunity to laugh with each other at a time when we desperately need that kind of levity."
