JIMMIE AND PETE A New Comedy Comes to The Ellen

Need a good laugh? Opening Thursday, February 22nd at The Ellen Theatre, the new comedy Jimmie and Pete delivers a solid whack to the funny bone. Jimmie is thrilled that Bridget is getting married while Pete speculates if nuptial bliss is even possible. Eddie fears commitment but Katharine is more focused on the perfect wedding. Sarah Jessica desperately wants stability and Landon desires a new leading lady. Harold just needs a vacation. Three generations of nine wildly diverse souls collide as they search for the answer to life's most basic question: Is it possible to find true love and still maintain one's sanity?

Written and directed by John Ludin, this screwball send-up of relationships features, in the title roles, gifted veterans of the stage Rhonda Smith and Joel Jahnke. In addition, a stellar supporting cast includes John Hosking, Valarie Andrews, Colter Langan, Heidi Krutchkoff, Mark Kuntz, Hannah Overton and Corey Barrows.

Jimmie and Pete will be performed at The Ellen Theatre Thursday through Saturday evenings, February 22nd through 24th, with curtain time at 7:30 PM. A Sunday matinee on February 25th begins at 3:00 PM. Tickets are $18.50 and may be purchased online at TheEllenTheatre.com or by calling the box office at (406) 585-5885; a $2.50 processing fee will be added to the entire order. Due to mature themes, this play is recommended for ages 16 and up. Beer, wine and other refreshments, which may be brought into the theatre, are available in The Ellen lobby beginning one hour prior to showtime.
