Bill Murray Stories & folk fusion trio Bon Débarras at Ellen Theatre
Downtown Bozeman’s Ellen Theatre is your source for some of the area’s best big screen entertainment and stage performances. The space also houses some great musical acts, both local and those coming through town. Here’s a look at what’s happening on Main.
Saturday, January 19th unites the worlds of music, dance and poetry with Bon Débarras! Three Montreal artists bring together a fusion of Quebecois folk music, traditional step-dancing, and global influences, for a show that is lively and undeniably creative. Bon Débarras’ energy taps into the rhythms of today and ventures boldly on the multi-faceted road to tomorrow. The music begins at 7:30pm and tickets are $21.
Looking to next month, The Ellen will host the Letters Aloud evening presentation of “FAME (They’re Not Going to Live Forever)” on Sunday, February 10th. In 1968, Andy Warhol said, “In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” His prediction of fame’s fleeting nature in our celebrity saturated culture could not be truer. Through the personal letters of those who sought and achieved greatness – including Emily Dickinson, David Bowie, Tom Hanks, Stephen King, Harper Lee, John Cleese, Amelia Earhart and, of course, Mr. Warhol himself! Letters Aloud’s FAME examines the very human condition of celebrity and the lessons it teaches. With live musical accompaniment and a dynamic slide show, enjoy this ride on the roller coaster ride of fame! The show begins at 7:30pm and all seats are $19.50.
Wine, beer, and other refreshments will be sold in the lobby one hour before all performances and screenings.
