FEARLESS THEATER
WEATHER GIRL
by Brian Watkins
AUGUST 26–30, 2026
“No tool can save us, only we can save each other.”
SECOND AMERICAN PRODUCTION
MAINSTAGE
The Spot presented the second American production of Brian Watkins’ WEATHER GIRL August 26–30, 2026, in Ketchum, Idaho. The one-person dark comedy starred Yanna Lantz as Stacey Gross, was devised as an ensemble, and featured video design and cinematography by Caleb Morgan.
Hilarious, heartfelt, and gloriously unhinged, Brian Watkins' Weather Girl is a sharp new dark comedy about a world on the brink. Stacey is a California weather girl whose daily routine of wildfires, prosecco, and teeth whitening suddenly spirals into a scorched-earth catastrophe. As her personal and professional life unravel, she discovers something that just might save us all.
SUITABILITY:
Recommended for ages 13+. This production contains strong language, adult themes and alcohol.
RUN TIME:
70 minutes, no intermission
TICKET PRICES:
STANDARD | $35
STUDENT/UNDER 30 | $20
(Students and/or patrons under 30)
TALKBACK | AUGUST 28
Join Environmental Resource Center Executive Director Ashton Wilson for a conversation following our Friday performance!
“I read the script, and I cried, and I laughed, and I cried,” Ashton Wilson said. He breathed a sigh of relief, he said, knowing the production would be staged here. “It’s always a breath of fresh air for us when other folks are having the difficult conversations.” –Briana Miller, Idaho Mountain Express

“The forecast at The Spot calls for a heightened sense of apocalyptic doom as the earth hurtles toward collapse in the face of warming temperatures...100 percent chance of surrealism mixed with magic realism.” –Karen Bossick, Eye on Sun Valley
