Montana Skies

The State of Montana is not only gorgeous (even in the winter) it is also quite cultured and filled with venues and performing arts enthusiasts. To the right is a photo of a frozen upper Missouri River!

Within the State we were able to visit Fort Benton, Billings,Helena and Great Falls.  We also made a stop in Idaho Falls on the way up from Nevada.

The town of Fort Benton was founded before the State entered into the union.  This charming village boasts a luxurious old hotel right on the riverbank called The Grand Union.  Not only does the Grand Union have great rooms, they have an excellent restaurant and a hotel lobby complete with a baby grand piano and grand staircase leading to the rooms of the inn.

We were thrilled to find venues ranging from 80 seats to over 2000 not including larger stadiums that also showcase live music and entertainment.

 

What is truly amazing about Fort Benton, is that even the Agricultural Museum is full of antique pianos each with its own unique story and history related back to the town of Fort Benton.

 

Fringes Off Interstate 15

Dowtown Idaho Falls is an art, wine and food lover's Oasis! The Paramount Theater with 900 seats stands central with galleries and gourmet goodies on either side.


This space is home to several presenters including the symphony and Idaho Falls Arts Council and an art gallery with five exhibits annually.


When you get to Idaho Falls don't miss wine tasting across the street! Try an Idaho wine, you might just be impressed...

Hooray for Hollywood!

Who says cabaret is just for folks over 50?  Many 30 and 40 somethings disagree in Tinseltown!


If you haven't heard about them, where have you been? This intimate 90 seat space on Vermont Street is packed every weekend with some really terrific talent and up and coming stars. We were fortunate enough to catch a killer performance by Jimmy James.


Next time you visit LA LA Land, check out what's happening at The Upright Cabaret!

Location:Hollywood, CA

New England Madness

So many pockets of populated areas around Boston. Venues ranging from 600 to over 2000 fulfill the areas need for artistic stimulation. The more intimate of the two major theater venues is the Stoneham Theater.


Backstage is downstairs but there is ample wing space on stage level.


Further north in Worcester Mass. find a true gem in the prestine Hanover Theatre.


The lobby at Hanover is a "must see" on any artists list. We do not show a photo of the lobby and foyer as it would not do justice. Visit Wocester soon!

Location:MASS

Crazy for Cranston

The all new Rhode Island Performing Arts Center boasts an 1100 seat theater complete with a backstage fit for any union show.





Note closed circuit sound and TV at every turn backstage and in the lobby, VIP room and loge.


Also part of the complex find a bustling restuarant for dinner and a cafe for breakfast and lunch by day six days per week.


In house at this PAC also find a dance club, bar and lounge, and a comedy club in additon to all the above. Did we mention the kitchens?

Location:Cranston, Rhode Island

Yosemite Sam

Who would dream about an elegant five star hotel with live entertainment, lectures and cooking classes from the top chefs of North America? One word... Awahnee!


Awahnee Hotel is nestled in the center of Yosemite National Park. The main dining room features a stage perfect for acts with less than five musicians with a lovely stage facing a dining hall that seats approximately 500 guests.


As the curtains opened we discovered the stage setup for a Charles Dickens event.


The Awahnee has several wonderful pianos and around the holidays, enjoy dueling pianos as you sip brandy by the fire.

The Wells Fargo Wagon...

"I hope I get my raisins from Fresno." Yes indeed! The Sun kissed Miss found us as we travel North.


Though Fresno is not the only city in the Central Valley of CA to have a Tower Theater, but it could be the most pristine boasting art deco style theater on the inside with no details left unattended. The entertainment here ranges from Rita Moreno to Kris Krostofferson.


Above is Fresno's most popular local theater company, Good Company Players at Roger Rocka's Music Hall presenting musicals year round and a smaller space nearby called 2nd Space presenting mostly plays. Next time you travel through this part of California be sure to check out Fresno's Tower District.
