Step into the hilariously chaotic world of “Elvis Has Left the Building” directed by Michael Baim and starring Jack Gibbons & Barron Farnell. It’s December 20, 1970, and the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, Elvis Presley, has mysteriously disappeared. With a sold-out Christmas show and no Elvis in sight, his manager, Colonel Parker, is in a frantic scramble. In a desperate attempt to save the day, he enlists a quirky Elvis impersonator, who must now pull off the performance of a lifetime. Filled with mistaken identities, comical mishaps, and a touch of 1970s flair, this laugh-out-loud comedy will keep you entertained from start to finish. Join us for a night of fun, music, and non-stop laughter as we unravel the mystery of Elvis’s disappearance. You won’t want to miss this delightful tribute to the King and the crazy world behind the scenes of show business. Today is the first matinee at the Mallardi Cabaret Theatre and the show runs until September 1st. Tickets and more information at www.cbmountaintheatre.org
Gunnison Valley is also host to several beloved annual events. A classic winter event is The Alley Loop, a Nordic ski race that doubles as a costume contest. In fall, Mt. Crested Butte hosts the famous Chili and Beer Festival. Every summer in Gunnison, a crowd gathers to watch America’s fourth-oldest rodeo, Cattlemen’s Days. There are also festivals in Crested Butte that celebrate local art, music, wildflowers, and more. Attending an annual event is a good way to connect with the culture of the Gunnison Valley. You might even create a new tradition for you and your family and friends!
