Missoula: Acoustic concerts on tap

Last year, local singer-songwriter Ro Myra released a full-length album, “Nowhere, Nebraska,” that addresses her upbringing in rural Nebraska. She’ll play with a full band at Longstaff House, an old church converted into an acoustic-only listening room venue. Also on the bill is Brady Schwertfeger, who led a local band called Norwell, among other projects.

Details: 7 p.m., Longstaff House, 601 Longstaff St., suggested donation is $20-$30.

(Friday-Saturday, June 28-29)

A new play, “Fellowship Hall,” takes audiences into the world of recovery, as everyday people with a wide range of ages and experiences.

Playwright Ean Miles Kessler wrote the original script for No Joke Theater, a nonprofit founded by the show’s director, Leah Joki. They work with people in pre-release supervision and the broader recovery community. That includes the cast (plus two professionals) and others who helped Kessler with the authenticity.

The show runs roughly 90 minutes, with humor thrown in along with the adult themes and language.

Details: The show closes with two dates at separate venues.

• Friday, June 28, 7:30 p.m., First United Methodist Church. Free, donations accepted.
• Saturday, June 29, 7:30 p.m., Masquer Theatre, University of Montana. Pick what you pay, $10-$30.
