THE LION KING Jr. – Cancelled
September 25 & 26 at 7:30 PM
October 2 & 3 at 7:30 PM
October 4 at 2:00 PM
“The Lion King, Jr.” tells the story of the epic adventures of a curious cub named Simba as he struggles to accept the responsibilities of adulthood and his destiny as king. Along the way, the young lion encounters a colorful cast of characters, including spunky lioness Nala, charismatic meerkat Timon, and loveable warthog Pumbaa. To claim his rightful place on the throne and save his beloved Pridelands, Simba must find his inner strength and confront his wicked Uncle Scar. The Lion King JR. features classic songs from the 1994 film, such as “Hakuna Matata” and the Academy Award®-winning “Can You Feel the Love Tonight,” as well as additional songs penned for the Broadway production.
Shrimp Crab Boil Fundraiser
Crab & shrimp Boil Dinner—to go!!
You asked, and we listened! The Crab & Shrimp Boil Dinner was back—but with a twist…
Delicious fresh seafood is special ordered and shipped in for this one time event. Your meal, prepared by Bigfork native and owner of Cartwright Catering, Chef Laura Clayton, includes fresh crab, fresh shrimp, andouille sausage, potatoes, corn on the cob, salad, bread, dessert, and beverage!
The twist? People didn’t even have to get out of their car!! This was a “curb side delivery” event! (Sept 11)
All proceeds for this dinner went directly to Bigfork Playhouse Children’s Theatre (BPCT) which provides music and theater educational opportunities to more than 4,000 children across the Flathead Valley.
Thanks Bigfork for making this another successful event!
