Thoughts of Summer - Bigfork Summer Playhouse

Thoughts of Summer…take in a play at the Bigfork Summer Playhouse.


This Summer 2011 will be the Bigfork Summer Playhouses’ 52nd season of live professional theatre. http://www.bigforksummerplayhouse.com/

If you are staying in the Bigfork, MT area this summer, I highly recommend having dinner at one of the local Bigfork restaurants and then heading to the Bigfork Summer Playhouse at 7:30 pm to enjoy a night of playful musical entertainment. You will have a most wonderful time.

The playhouse brings acting talent from across the country so that we in Bigfork can enjoy the finest live professional theatre in the Northwest.

It always amazes me that the Playhouse performs a different musical every night. How do they remember all their lines if it’s a different musical every night? Because it is live professional theatre.

I have enjoyed every performance that I have attended at the Playhouse over the years.

I truly appreciate how all of those selected to be part of the company each year blend their individual talents together so well that it seems like they have been working and performing together for years…..which makes for a fantastic night at the theatre. The company includes Actors, Musicians, Scenic Technicians, Sound Technicians, Costume Technicians, Designers, and Choreographers.

The 2011 season Show schedule has been set and will include:
Happy Days - the Musical
Guys & Dolls
My Fair Lady
The Wedding Singer
Shout!

Thoughts of Summer -Flathead Lake - The Far West

The crew of the Far West invites you to join them for a relaxing, educational and intriguing tour aboard their historic Montana cruise ship.....The Far West. http://www.flatheadlakeboattour.com./

"Gentle waves lapping against the boat hull...
Sun-glistening gems dancing upon the water...
Invigorating smells of fresh air and big mountains..."

Flathead Lake is framed on the east by the Mission mountains and to the west by the Salish mountain range. 

The best way to really appreciate Flathead Lake's natural beauty is to see it from the water.   Far West's boat tours provides this opportunity by cruising Flathead Lake.  The Far West travels South along the west shore of Flathead Lake then turns North in a graceful arc taking you out into the depths of Flathead Lake. 


You can board the Far West at Lakeside, Montana, 14 miles south of Kalispell on US Hwy 93 (about 25 minutes from Bigfork Mountain Lake Lodge)

The tour lasts about 1-1/2 hours.

Reservations are not required but a very good idea. The Far West suggests you arrive 15 to 30 minutes prior to departure.

The Far West's phone number is 406-844-2628 for more information on booking a cruise
or you can email them at  info@farwestboattours.com
