MONTANA TALES, AND OTHER BAD-ASS BUSINESS

This Saturday October, 1 at the KM Theater in downtown Kalispell - MONTANA TALES, AND OTHER BAD-ASS BUSINESS.

This is a must see event.

Troy Evans tells a variety of stories from different stages of his life.  He has performed the show from New York to Los Angeles and likes to describe it as ”an autobiography told by ghosts”.  The show is funny and moving, and many audience members have said the show is their favorite theatrical experience ever.  

Troy was born in Missoula in 1948, and moved to Kalispell in 1954. He attended Cornelius Hedges, Central High school, and FCHS. He attended U of M for one year before being drafted and sent to Viet Nam. When he returned in 1969 he operated a business known as “THE OLD GREY JOHN DEERE DANCE HALL” with Jamie Lenon, and the next year opened a beer and music venue, “THE POWDER KEG”, which was a huge success for a short time.

Troy started acting at FVCC in 1970, and after several delays that included MSU, The Veterans Mental hospital in Sheridan, Wyoming, and a stint in Montana State Prison, he moved to California in 1976 to pursue an acting career. In the past 35 years he has appeared in over 50 movies, and 400 television episodes.
