What else to do Close To Yellowstone? Well here at Visit Island Park Idaho we always love a good show and the Playmill does have family friendly shows. Usually a few to choose from each season too.

Going to the Playmill Theatre, you want to know a couple things. Get there early when they tell you. It is small and seating is on stacked bleacher style seating. The history of the Playmill is really sweet and been over 55 years. Here is a link to their ABOUT US page.

There is an intermission usually where they will be selling cookies/popcorn/snacks and drinks. We love getting the huckleberry soda too. You will want to bring cash for these items and plan about $5.00-$10.00 per person if you really get a lot of snacks. The intermission treats are not required but if you have a craving for some great stuff, it is available.

Every time we have been to a show here, the kids love it and so do the adults so it is really fun for the whole family.

I just received their email with their current schedule and the line up looks really awesome! Tell them Visit Island Park Idaho sent you if you go!

They are going to start the season off with Disney’s Tarzon, here is an excerpt from the email.

Saddle up for a joyride in this tale of stubborn men and cunning women.

The men in question are Adam and his six unruly brothers, who think they know what a woman's place is and how to keep her there. It takes Milly, Adam's spirited new wife, and six other savvy women to show them who's the boss. BUY TICKETS HERE.

Footloose

Jun 26, 2020 - Sep 05, 2020

Playmill Theatre, West Yellowstone, MT

Celebrate the spirit and optimism of young people fighting for change backed by a soundtrack of ‘80s pop anthems in this stage adaptation of the hit film. When city boy Ren moves to a small town where dancing is outlawed, he finds himself an outsider and a target of the local preacher who pushed for the ban – especially after attracting the attention of the reverend’s rebellious daughter.

Through explosive choreography and invigorating songs such as ‘Holding Out for a Hero,’ ‘Let’s Hear it for the Boy,’ and the exhilarating title track; Ren challenges the community to reverse the rule and heal from the tragedy that kept their hearts from dancing. BUY TICKETS HERE
