The recently finished renovation of the Bigfork Center of the Performing Arts is stunning.
An open-curved glass facade faces Electric Avenue, the heart of downtown Bigfork. Aurora borealis tiles, Tiffany-style lamps and revamped concession and ticket booths create a warm, upscale environment. Copies of each season’s playbill hang framed along the walls. At slightly more than 2,500 square feet, it’s a stark contrast to its cramped predecessor.
On Friday, May 15, the community is invited to check out the renovation at an open house reception from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., followed by a special showing of the Bigfork Summer Playhouse’s season-opening musical, “Smokey Joe’s Cafe.” It’s the playhouse’s 50th-anniversary season.
