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.      

Saturday, Aug. 2 — Rhythm Boomers Drum Circle, 10 a.m.

Saturday, Aug. 2 — Musical Comedy with Michael Glatzmaier,  7:30 p.m.  

Michael Glatzmaier is a comedian based in Spokane. He performs frequently at nearby comedy clubs and at the Blue Door Theater. 

Glatzmaier has been playing guitar since the early age of eight and has been improvising comedy since high school. After graduating, he started performing shows featuring improvised comedy, stand-up, and both improvised and original songs. Since then, he has recorded his first CD and is releasing a second. 

Glatzmaier is the winner of 2018’s World Series of Comedy competition, and he has also performed at the Seattle Improv Festival, SFIT, and at Bumbershoot in Seattle in 2018. He has performed his one-man show, “Mostly Improvised”, all the way from Vancouver, British Columbia, in Canada to New York City. 

Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door.  

Saturday, Aug. 9 — Randy McAllister, 7:30 p.m. 

Award-winning Texas bluesman Randy McAllister returns to the Pearl Theater. 

Known for his soulful voice, world-class harmonica, and driving drums, McAllister brings raw authenticity with no gimmicks, just pure talent. 

Blues Blast Magazine calls his latest work “one of the most impressive albums of the year,” praising McAllister as a “masterful singer” who fully inhabits every song. 

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.      

The theater is available to rent for personal and public events.
