Alpine Theatre Project marks 20th anniversary of holiday performance

The Alpine Theatre Project is celebrating its 20th anniversary of the “Yuletide Affair” this season, a mix of heartwarming holiday music and irreverent satire that has become one of the Valley's biggest holiday traditions.

The tradition began in 2003 before ATP became its own company and was still under the umbrella of Whitefish Theatre Company. "Yuletide Affair" has sold out every performance since 2003 and the show has never been repeated year to year. 

“The concert originated as a fundraiser after ATP’s first year and was meant to raise funds for the following season for the fledgling operation,” says Betsi Morrison, ATP founder. “Then it just kept growing.”
