Ellen Theatre Announces Lineup of September Events

An Ellen classic graces the silver screen on Friday, September 14 with Roman Holiday. An unusual and poignant romance blossoms between a European princess (Audrey Hepburn) and an American reporter (Gregory Peck) after a chance meeting in Rome, Italy. The picture won three Oscars - Best Screenplay, Best Costume Design, and earned Hepburn the Academy Award for Best Actress. All Seats $5.00. Film begins at 7:30 PM.

The following evening, on Saturday the 15th at 8 PM, it's sizzling music with Max Hatt/Edda Glass! Max Hatt/Edda Glass's award-winning Jazz Americana and Brazilian Bossa Nova has "an incomparable spook" (Nashville Scene) and "a unique sound" (Larry Groce of NPR). As heard on NPR Mountain Stage, NYC's Lincoln Center, DC's Kennedy Center, and Wilco's Solid Sound Festival. They will be joined by Seattle bass virtuoso Clipper Anderson. Tickets $18.50.

Friday, September 21st is Bluegrass Night at The Ellen! Carnegie Hall veterans Monroe Crossing team up with Grammy-nominated group The Special Consensus for a unique concert that is so much more than a tribute to their Bluegrass roots. Tickets $27.00. Music begins at 7:30 PM.

Need a good laugh? Following a successful run in Billings last month, Jimmie and Pete returns to The Ellen stage September 27 through 30. The hit comedy, written and directed by John Ludin, delivers a solid whack to the funny bone!

Performances: September 27, 28, 29 at 7:30 PM and September 30 at 3 PM.

Wine, beer, and other refreshments, which may be brought into the theatre, will be sold in the lobby beginning one hour prior to all show times.
