📺 The Ultimate Comedy Gala
Get ready for a laugh-filled, high-energy night inspired by the legendary late-night show that’s launched a thousand catchphrases and kept audiences up way past their bedtimes for decades.
🎭 Dress the Part
Come dressed as your favorite cast member, iconic sketch character, or in your best “I just walked out of a comedy sketch” look.
Style Guide: Pull from fan-favorites like Stefon, Mary Katherine Gallagher, The Church Lady, Matt Foley, The Spartan Cheerleaders, Debbie Downer, or David S. Pumpkins.
Attitude Matters: Commit to the bit. Half the outfit is how you act—awkward, overconfident, chaotic, or completely deadpan.
🍸 The Experience
This is not your typical gala—it’s a full-on night of comedy, cocktails, and controlled chaos in support of the arts.
Sip & Snack: Themed drinks and delicious bites.
The Show: Live entertainment, interactive games, and surprise “cold open” moments.
The Stakes: High-stakes raffles and auctions.
❤️ Supporting the Spotlight
All proceeds help keep the spotlight shining at Thrasher Opera House, supporting:
Year-round concerts and live performances.
Art exhibits featuring talented regional artists.
Missoula Children’s Theatre programs.
Preservation of a beloved Green Lake landmark.
Economic Impact: Driving the local economy through the arts.
…plus plenty more that keeps our community laughing and coming back for an encore!
✨ New This Year!
Because of Thrasher’s exciting office renovation, all festivities will take place inside the Opera House. We’re shifting to a social cocktail-style evening featuring:
Themed appetizers curated by Chef Trent Hazelberg.
4 person or 2 person tables are available. You will also be able to purchase other items (wine pull, dessert pull, raffle tickets) in advance, an email containing these details will be sent prior to the party.
The same outstanding entertainment you know and love!
🎸 The After-Party Cast Party
While our official program wraps at 8 p.m., the night is far from over. Stick around for our exclusive on-site After-Party!
All proceeds benefit the Thrasher Opera House, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to live music, local art, youth theatre, and preserving Green Lake history.
