When Montana Theatreworks first bought the Ellen Theatre in 2008, executive director John Ludin found that the dressing rooms were full of all kinds of antiques.

The theaterâs crew became a skeleton crew out of necessity, but Ludin and the Ellen team had a variety of projects to keep them busy during the pandemic.
