Montana TheatreWorks, which owns and operates The Ellen Theatre, is a non-profit organization dedicated to presenting to the Gallatin Valley the very best in the performing arts, with the goal to entertain, educate and inspire the audience, while celebrating the human experience, providing cultural and social enrichment for all.
"I love seeing plays at the Ellen. My first one I saw was Annie in 2017. Tonight I saw the play You Can't Take It With You and recently saw The Fiddler On the Roof a few months ago. The architecture is absolutely beautiful and it has been around for a very long time."
"We drove from Helena and brought our four kids (age 4-11) to a showing of the movie "Hundreds of Beavers." We enjoyed popcorn and drinks (for my husband and I). Comfy seats and great views! We will absolutely make another trek for a good 🎥 movie at The Ellen!"
"The Ellen Theatre is a true gem! It makes me so happy to have something like this right here in downtown Bozeman. I recently had the privilege of seeing Cabaret a few weeks ago, and it was absolutely incredible. The mix of local talent with performers flown in made for an unforgettable production. The theatre itself is beautiful, well-maintained, and full of charm. I’m hopeful they continue to bring more shows to this wonderful stage!"
"As a board member of Hope & The Holidays, I want to extend our deepest thanks to The Ellen Theatre for their generous donation to our recent silent auction. Their support helped us raise vital funds that will go toward supporting families in need this holiday season. Located in the heart of downtown Bozeman, The Ellen Theatre is truly the crown jewel of our arts community. Entertaining audiences since 1919, it continues to host an incredible variety of events—from concerts and plays to weddings and youth classes through the TATE Academy. Their commitment to enriching lives through the performing arts is matched by their generosity and dedication to uplifting others. We’re incredibly grateful for their partnership, and we encourage everyone to support local institutions like The Ellen Theatre that bring creativity, connection, and joy to our community."
"I had a STELLAR time listening to the Glenn Miller orchestra a few weeks ago at my favorite venue in Bozeman, the Ellen Theatre, our gorgeous and beautifully renovated downtown venue. I got to do a little dancing and listen to great music, musicians and singers. This legacy band has been around since 1939, 80 years... quite a tribute for a band that only had Glenn Miller in person for 5 years. He died in a tragic airplane crash in 1944. Heartfelt thanks to John Luden and his fabulous Ellen team for bringing in such stellar and affordable entertainment!"
