With transformative support from The Roy Cockrum Foundation, and in partnership with UM School of Theatre and Dance, Montana Repertory Theatre presents the world premiere of Kendra Mylnechuk Potter’s Can’t Drink Salt Water. The opening night of this gripping new play will take place Saturday, February 14, 2026 in the Montana Theatre on the UM Campus (PARTV Building), with eight additional performances following, through February 22.

Juxtaposing a mother’s relentless search for her missing daughter with the journey of a young woman newly arrived at Bethel House, an evangelical shelter for victims of sex trafficking, this timely story weaves together Native identity, maternal grief, contemporary religious faith, humor, and a call to action. The production showcases professional Indigenous talent from across the country, and as a co-production, showcases UM student actors, designers, and crew alongside the professionals. The playwright, Kendra Mylnechuk Potter, is a University of Montana alum, and is based in Missoula.

This production is supported by a generous grant from The Roy Cockrum Foundation. Founded in 2014 by Roy Cockrum and Benita Hofstetter Koman with winnings from Mr. Cockrum’s Powerball lottery jackpot, the Foundation’s mission is to award grants to support world-class performing arts projects in not-for-profit professional theatres throughout America. Since 2014, 76 American theaters and performing arts organizations have received major grants from the Foundation.

This performance includes mature themes.
