Pearl Theater to celebrate Robert Burns |
|
January 19, 2017 |
Put on your plaid and join us at The Pearl for a
glimpse of Old World Scotland at Burns Night at
7 p.m. Saturday!
Come on in to share some traditional Shepherd’s
pie, Bubbles and Squeeks, Red and Green cake and
heartwarming soup as you immerse yourself in the
traditions of Scotland.
As the month draws to a close, Scots around the
world celebrate life of Robert Burns, national
poet hailed “the greatest Scot of all time.”
This annual celebration provides Scottish
traditions, festivities, and décor. Burns, who
wrote more than 550 well-known poems and songs
before his death in 1796, mainly focused on
political and civil issues that made him into an
important Scottish icon.
A traditional Burns Night celebration would
start with a host reading the “Address to a
Haggis,” which is an ode Burns wrote in
appreciation of the classic Scottish dish. This
is a signal for the feast to begin. Rather than
focusing entirely on the poet, however, we have
included the tastier Scottish dishes and invited
the Celtic band, Free Whiskey, to the party!
Free Whiskey is a Celtic folk-rock group known
for inciting random acts of dancing, revelry,
and spontaneous sing-alongs. Free Whiskey brings
a cool mix of old and new, playing punchy pub
fare, traditional melodies, and rowdy rock
anthems to fit any crowd.
The band consists of drums, guitar, fiddle,
mandolin, bass, whistle, bodhran, and lush
vocals. Free Whiskey is guaranteed to produce a
good time as we celebrate Scotland with the
biggest party of the season.
Advance tickets are $15 at Mountain Mike's and
Bonners Books, tickets at the door are $17.
The Pearl Theater is a non-profit organization,
dedicated to fostering the performing arts
throughout Boundary County. For more information
or for membership, please call (208) 610-2846 or

The Pearl Theater is located at 7160 Ash Street
in Bonners Ferry, just south of the Kootenai
Casino. Turn East off of Highway 95 and look for
the steeple. |
