Spend an evening with John Lithgow

| February 1, 2024 12:00 AM

Tony and Emmy Award-winning actor John Lithgow will spend an evening with Kalispell when he takes the stage at the Wachholz College Center in April. 

Audiences worldwide may know the actor from his delightful performances across stage and screen — most recently in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon as prosecutor Peter Leaward.

“John Lithgow dazzles audiences with his trademark wit and conversations full of heart,” according to a press release.

The show was originally scheduled to take place in December, but has now been set for April 8. Those who had tickets for the previous date will automatically be transferred to the new event date, said Matt Laughlin, director of the Wachholz College Center.

Lithgow has appeared in a long list of critically acclaimed films such as “Bombshell,” “Terms of Endearment” and “The World According to Garp,” and “All That Jazz.” Lithgow also starred in the hit TV shows “3rd Rock from the Sun,” “Dexter,” “The Crown,” and the recent “Perry Mason” on HBO. 

He has appeared on Broadway 25 times, including award-winning appearances in “The Changing Room,” “M. Butterfly,” “Requiem for a Heavyweight,” and musicals “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” and “The Sweet Smell of Success.”

His performances have earned him two Tonys, six Emmys, three SAG Awards and two Oscar nominations.

The prolific actor has also written best-selling children’s picture books for Simon & Schuster. He wrote the narration for the New York City Ballet’s “Carnival of the Animals” in 2003 and danced the role of The Elephant. In 2011, his memoir “Drama: An Actor’s Education,” was released. Since 2019, he has written and illustrated the “Dumpty Trilogy,” three books of political satire, which landed on The New York Times nonfiction bestseller list for three consecutive years.

The evening begins at 7:30 p.m. 

Limited tickets are available for purchase at wccmt.org. Ticket prices range from $55 to $75 not including service fees.
