Alpine Theatre Project has a new performance series, “The Artist Challenge,” which includes seven musical performances throughout the year. The popular holiday-themed “Yuletide Affair” will also be back at the Whitefish Performing Arts Center, Dec. 19 to 21.

ATP’s 2021 season will be presented in a variety of venues, from the Whitefish Performing Arts Center, to outdoor locations, to ATP’s new cabaret theater in the old Mountain Cinemas space in Whitefish.

The 2021 Artist Challenge was designed as a series of commissions to local professional artists to create public musical performances that mattered most to them. The six-week schedule of performances range from fully staged musicals, to album-release parties to themed concerts and more,
