Celebrating the Arts in the
Heart of Downtown Bozeman


Desert Rose Band - September 6th!


Paula Poundstone - Friday, September 17th

Long day at the office? Kids driving you crazy? Need a good laugh? Here's the perfect prescription: take one night of Paula Poundstone
and call us in the morning. Straight from her appearances on
Late Night with David Letterman
and her weekly stints on NPR's irreverent quiz show,
Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me,
Paula brings her razor-sharp wit and spontaneity to the stage of The Ellen Theatre. The Boston Globe said, "Poundstone improvises with a crowd like a Jazz musician...swinging in unexpected directions without a plan, without a net." Paula is so quick and unassuming that audience members at her live shows often leave complaining that their cheeks hurt from laughter.

The Ellen Story

The Ellen Theatre, a marvelous tribute to those glorious playhouses of the early 1900s, will again illuminate its stage, celebrating the performing arts in the heart of downtown Bozeman. Once upon a timeless past, this lavishly decorated palace, designed by renowned architect Fred Willson, was a shining showcase for musical talents and vaudeville stars, including fan dancer Sally Rand and the legendary ventriloquist Edgar Bergen along with his wise-cracking wooden sidekick Charlie McCarthy. Originally opened in 1919, The Ellen hosted variety shows, movie premieres, school plays, weddings, symphony concerts and an opera featuring a live elephant. There's even a spot on a backstage wall where young acting hopeful Gary Cooper inscribed his name.
