AUDITIONS: HOLIDAY NOIR

Looking for the brazen, the talented, the performers with moxie who want to participate in the most tastefully scandalous holiday show in Bozeman! Last year, we filled our theater two nights in a row and entertained exuberant crowds with performances that made even Rudolph’s nose blush. This year is guaranteed to surprise and delight, and we want to welcome you to join the fun as a participant in the Emerson’s 2024 Holiday Noir.

We will be holding auditions September 24, 25, and 26 (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday). Auditions will run every 10 minutes with performers having 3 minutes to show their act. The show dates are December 6 & 7. Please fill out the Google Form below to snag an audition slot

Acts should be holiday-themed, lean into the saucy/adults-only nature of Holiday Noir, embrace humor, and most of all, be entertaining. Limit audition to 3 minutes, and please note that all acts are subject to edits by our production team. 

All types of performance artists are encouraged to audition! Bring the fire (not literally, please) and bring the fun. Looking forward to seeing what you’ve got!

Searching for:

Burlesque acts with a witty holiday spin

Provocative Magician

Drummers, specifically for a drum line

Advanced Juggler

Dancers

Any other circus-type acts that are in-line with the overall feel of the show

ART WALK: NEW EXHIBITS

OPENING FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 13

NapTime

by Jane Herzog, Carly Schoen, Tuk Vaughankraska, and Angela Yonke

Close your eyes and drift to sleep. Let the collective unconsciousness wash over you. Dream beneath layers of thread and fabric. Possibilities and alternate realities await you.

We have a passion for working with fabric and sewn mediums. This show gathers together blankets, quilts, and textile works from artists Jane Herzog, Carly Schoen, Tuk Vaughankraska, and Angela Yonke. 

There is a Season

Madison Perrins



These paintings created by Madison Perrins were guided by an appreciation for the singular energy each season of life can bring to the outer and inner landscape. The artist uses her understanding that each season contains its own unique lesson to try and enjoy the gift of them in real time: the mercurial quality of spring, the whisper of solitude in fall, or the bright shock of summer. Her work lifts up a deeply personal spirituality held in the landscape, especially inspired by the sweeping expanses of the Western US & her beloved Montana. In turns, her imagery embodies joy, playfulness, power, the sacred, interiority, and radiant energy.

To celebrate 50 years of learning, creating, and growing as artists, MSU metalsmithing alumni have been invited to exhibit together. Their work reflects their ongoing work in metalsmithing and will highlight their shared passion for metals.

Featuring the work of Montana State University Metals past/present faculty, as well as alumni:

Paxton Juhlin, Hailey Vidmar, Tabor Roulson, Aysha Carter, Tiffany Fischer, Cole Arpin, Grace Hogan, Erin Levy, Josie Parry, April Hale, Kaleigh Jones, Susan Blim, Caroline Adams, JulieAnne Koebbe, Jason Baide, Katelyn Bauer,

Linda L. Ryan, Kimberly Navratil-Pope, Bryan Petersen, Kristen Hedge, Tori Burchill, Rich Helzer, Leonard Wells, Chris Tullar, and Ken Bova
