Once home to vaudeville and silent film performances, the recently rescued and refurbished Colonial Theater is located, along with the art gallery, in the Willard Arts Center. The theater is home to musicals, dramatic performances including children's plays, Broadway shows and lectures. Third, the council sponsors art classes, mostly for elementary schoolchildren, to support the limited art programs available in area schools. Professional artists and art educators teach the classes. Some drama classes for kids and adult art classes are also available.
Tuition is nominal.
This active volunteer theater group schedules four shows a year, usually classics by playwrights such as Neil Simon, Oscar Wilde or Ira Levin. Opening night at the Stardust is popular because it often coincides with a wine tasting. ARTI occasionally does one-acts for holiday parties. Call ARTI for show schedules and locations. Audience members are from Montana, Wyoming and Utah, as well as from down the street.
