What's new at the Pearl

The Pearl Theater has always been the venue to see concerts and plays in Bonners Ferry, but the theater is expanding programs to include a wider variety of events. Events you can now find at the Pearl include groups, workshops, a drum circle, karaoke and much more.   

Thursday, Feb 27 – Performers Circle – 7-9 p.m.    

Performers Circle is the Pearl's longest running event. All are invited to bring a song or spoken word piece to the circle — or simply come and enjoy a night of artistic collaboration. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. This is a free event. 

Saturday, March 1 – International Fly Fishing Film Festival – 7 p.m.   

The IF4 returns to the Pearl Theater for a fifth year of exciting short films, raffle prizes and giveaways. This year’s event features seven new films from up-and-coming filmmakers and returning fan favorites. 

Sunday, March 16 – Still life drawing night – 6:30 p.m. 

Area residents are invited to come practice their drawing skills by drawing from life. A still life will be set up and light refreshments will be available. Participants should bring their own materials. All skill levels welcome. This is a free event.  

Built in 1894, the Pearl Theater was originally the first Catholic Church in Bonners Ferry. The historic building is now a theater that provides performance arts, and other events, to the growing community of Boundary County.      

The Pearl Theater, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization founded in 2012 with the goal of providing quality performing arts in an intimate historic downtown art house. The Pearl Theater’s objective as a nonprofit is to foster and develop the artistic talents and skills of community members of all ages, to serve as an outreach to encourage and facilitate social activities, and to nurture excellence in the performing arts through the presentation of performing artists from the local area as well as national and international arenas.     

The theater is available to rent for personal and public events.
