17th - NPR’s “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me” Comedian Paula Poundstone
On Friday, September 17th the Ellen Theatre in Bozeman, MT is proud to present comedian Paula Poundstone. Armed with nothing but a stool, a microphone and a can of Diet Pepsi, Paula’s ability to create humor on the spot has become the stuff of legend. Little wonder people leave Paula’s shows debating whether the random people she talked to were “plants” – which, of course they never are, and complaining that their cheeks hurt from laughter. .
Paula’s spontaneity and razor-sharp wit have made her one of the most popular panelists on NPR’s hilarious weekly news quiz show, Wait Wait…Don’t Tell Me. (2008 winner of the prestigious Peabody Award for Broadcasting excellence). Paula’s commentaries can be heard on NPR’s Morning Edition and read on the Huffington Post and comedy site: 23/6. Her first book, There’s Nothing In This Book That I Meant To Say, (with a foreword by Mary Tyler Moore) was published by Random House and she is hard at work on her second for the same imprint. Paula also released her first comedy CD: I HEART JOKES: Paula Tells Them In Maine, 60 minutes of hilarious comedy recorded live at the sensational Stone Mountain Arts Center – because as Paula says, “It’s very hard to do it any other way.”
.
Paula continues to be the National Spokesperson for (ALTAFF), The Association of Library Trustees Advocates Friends & Foundations, a national network of enthusiastic library supporters who believe in the importance of libraries as the social and intellectual centers of communities and campuses. Paula is supporting libraries on a local level by partnering with promoters and the local Friends organization in cities where she performs. The local Friends group receives tickets for use in fundraising or promotion as well as a portion of the book and CD sales after her performance where she makes herself available for signings. Says Poundstone: “It’s funny that we think of libraries as quiet demure places where we are shushed by dusty, bun-balancing, bespectacled women. The truth is libraries are raucous clubhouses for free speech, controversy and community. Librarians have stood up to the Patriot Act, sat down with noisy toddlers and reached out to illiterate adults. Libraries can never be shushed. If you haven’t been to your library lately, you’re over-due.”
Paula has had several solo specials on HBO and most recently, BRAVO. She was the first woman to win an ACE (the Cable EMMY) for Best Standup Comedy performance and the first woman to be invited to perform at the distinguished White House Correspondents dinner where those in attendance included the President. In 2010 Paula was invited to serve as judge in the humor category of this year's Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. The Awards are the largest, longest running recognition and scholarship program for teenage artists & writers. Paula has been recognized as one of Comedy Central’s 100 greatest stand ups of all time! Poundstone has had numerous television appearances including Letterman, Leno, Craig Ferguson, as well as Garrison Keillor’s, A Prairie Home Companion.

28th-November 16th - Landscape Writing Workshop
The Emerson, Studio 220
Tuesday nights, 6-8.30pm
Workshop runs 8 weeks
Price: $200
This workshop focuses on telling real stories about the places that have shaped us. We will play with our written voices (whether they be irreverent, reverent, soft or brash), learn how to capture an audience, and make the most personal details universal. We will find the spiritual in a janitor’s closet, the calm in a city of 25 million, the funky of a high-alpine terrain. All the while, experimenting with “nature writing,” we will ask that question: How does our external landscape inform our one and only internal one? Students will participate in free-writes, lively facilitated discussions, interactive critiques, transparent feedback, and weekly reading and writing assignments (don’t worry, they’re fun!) At the end of 8 weeks, our intimate group will have developed skills for imaginative storytelling, explored our perceptions of landscape, and delighted in our diverse voices. You will go home with a writing practice under your belt and the confidence to greet the creative writer within you every single day.
