Upcoming events at the Pearl Theater

The Pearl Theater has always been the venue to see concerts and plays in Bonners Ferry, but the theater is expanding programs to include a wider variety of events. Events offered at the Pearl now include groups, workshops, a drum circle, karaoke, and much more. 

Sunday, Dec 7 — Free holiday movie, 2 p.m.   

The Pearl will be hosting a holiday movie, “Klaus”, free for everyone. Free popcorn will also be available.   

In “Klaus”, after Jesper distinguishes himself as the postal academy's worst student, he is stationed on a frozen island above the Arctic Circle where the feuding locals hardly exchange words let alone letters. Jesper is about to give up when he finds an ally in local teacher Alva and discovers Klaus, a mysterious carpenter who lives alone in a cabin full of handmade toys. These unlikely friendships return laughter to Smeerensburg, forging a new legacy of generous neighbors, magical lore, and stockings hung by the chimney with care.  

Monday, Dec 15 — Write In, 6-7:30 p.m.      

Bring writing projects to work on and meet other local writers. There is no charge to participate.

Thursday, Dec 18 — Book Talk, 6-8 p.m.   

No assigned reading. Come and chat about books. Light refreshments and wine served. Books are available for sharing. 

Saturday, Jan 10 — Crafternoons at the Pearl, 10 a.m.-1 p.m.    

Participants can learn the art of pine-needle basket weaving during a hands-on workshop, where each person will make and take home a customized basket. The $35 class includes all materials, such as bases and pine needles. Complimentary coffee, tea and scones will be served. 

Built in 1894, the Pearl Theater was originally the first Catholic Church in Bonners Ferry. The historic building is now a theater that provides performance arts, and other events, to the growing community of Boundary County.       

The Pearl Theater, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization founded in 2012 with the goal of providing quality performing arts in an intimate historic downtown art house. The Pearl Theater’s objective as a nonprofit is to foster and develop the artistic talents and skills of community members of all ages, to serve as an outreach to encourage and facilitate social activities, and to nurture excellence in the performing arts through the presentation of performing artists from the local area as well as national and international arenas.
