THE GREAT FISH COMMUNITY CHALLENGE ENDS THIS WEEK!

As Executive Director Jen Asebrook shares in this video, the Great Fish Community Challenge has become the most important annual fundraiser for Whitefish Theatre Company—and your donation supports so much more than what you see onstage.

Your generosity helps WTC:

Produce 14 shows throughout the season

Build sets, create costumes, secure performance rights and hire talented directors

Bring visiting musicians, comedians and unique special events to Whitefish

Keep tickets affordable for students, seniors and underserved members of our community

Provide free outreach performances for students, veterans, seniors and adults with disabilities

Maintain the O’Shaughnessy Center as an accessible gathering place for local schools, nonprofits and community organizations

Support the Whitefish Summer Concert Series in partnership with Merie Productions

But perhaps most importantly, Whitefish Theatre Co creates a place where everyone belongs—a place where neighbors become castmates, volunteers become friends and people from every walk of life come together to create something meaningful.

As the Challenge comes to a close, please consider making a gift—big or small—to Whitefish Theatre Company. Every donation helps us continue bringing professional-quality theatre, music, film and unforgettable shared experiences to the Flathead Valley.

Thank you to everyone who has already donated. Your generosity is helping carry Whitefish Theatre Company into the future!

DONATE BY FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11 AT 5:00 PM:

SEPTEMBER SHOWS ARE HERE!

September is packed with live music! From some of the best local artists in the Flathead Valley and a brand-new jazz series to the return of Dueling Pianos and a very special celebration of Dolly Parton, there is so much to look forward to.

THURSDAYS — THE JULIET SESSIONS BEGIN
A new Thursday night tradition begins September 10 at The Juliet Lounge at Mountain Prime Steakhouse in Kalispell.

We’re kicking off The Juliet Sessions with Wes Hunter, an incredible Nashville singer-songwriter who recently made the move to Montana.

Every Thursday, The Juliet Sessions will showcase some of the best local singers, songwriters and musicians in the Valley in an intimate, elevated setting that is all about the MUSIC.

FRIDAYS — JAZZ AT THE JULIET BEGINS
Friday nights have a new sound in Kalispell. Jazz at The Juliet brings together outstanding jazz musicians from across the Flathead Valley every Friday night at The Juliet Lounge.

Great music, an intimate room and what we hope becomes a new Friday night tradition.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 — DUELING PIANOS
Ross, Dustin & Don are BACK!

Dueling Pianos returns to 101 Central’s Second Story in Whitefish for another unforgettable night of requests, sing-alongs, incredible musicianship and a whole lot of fun.

This one is ALMOST SOLD OUT, so grab those tickets while you still can!

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 25 — DOLLY RETURNS
One month after we lost the beloved Dolly Parton, we’ll gather on 9/25 — Dolly Day (9 to 5) — to celebrate the music, joy and extraordinary legacy she gave us.

Meredith Patterson is joining forces with Big Sky Troubadours’ Jo Smith for a very special night of Dolly at The Juliet Lounge in Kalispell.

Come sing the songs. Celebrate the woman. Wear your Dolly best. And help us fill the room with love for an icon whose music will live forever.

Even better, a portion of the evening’s profits will benefit Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, carrying her legacy forward by putting books into the hands of children.

September is going to be an incredible month of live music in the Flathead Valley.**

Waking up this morning with a heart FULL of love!

Last night was pure magic wrapped in LOVE.

Four years ago, the Whitefish Summer Concert Series was just an idea—a dream of bringing extraordinary professional music to our little corner of Montana, creating opportunities for incredible artists, and giving this community nights where we could all come together through music.

And last night, I felt just how many people believe in that dream with us.

So today, I just want to say LOVE.

LOVE to Whitefish Theatre Company for saying yes to this collaboration four years ago and continuing to believe in what we are building.

LOVE to every single artist who has stepped onto our stage over these past four years and brought their gifts, their hearts and their artistry to Whitefish.

LOVE to the businesses, sponsors, friends and community members who showed up last night, bought tickets, bid on auction items, donated and simply said, “We believe in this.”

And so much love and gratitude to the extraordinary artists who stood beside me last night—Halladay Quist, Ross Bridgeman, Matt Seymour, Matt Brua, Jeremy Reinbolt, and my beautiful husband, Dustin Brayley.

You say YES to my crazy ideas. You dream with me. You give everything you have when you step onto that stage. And I love you for it.

But maybe the biggest thing I woke up thinking about this morning is this:

ASK FOR WHAT YOU WANT IN THIS WORLD.

Ask.

There ARE people who want to help you.
There ARE people who believe in your dreams.
There ARE people who will show up, give what they can, open a door, buy a ticket, make a donation, lend a hand or simply say YES.

Last night was our very first fundraiser for the future of the Whitefish Summer Concert Series, and every single person who participated became part of what comes next.

Because of YOU, there will be more music.
Because of YOU, more artists will have a stage.
Because of YOU, we get to keep dreaming bigger.

And if you weren’t able to be there with us in person last night but would still like to be part of all this LOVE, our fundraising campaign is still live.

You can donate anything you can. Truly, every dollar matters, and every dollar goes toward helping us make the 2027 Whitefish Summer Concert Series our best one yet.

Whitefish, thank you.

My heart is very, very full this morning.

And we are just getting started.
