Alpine Theatre Project Announces Giving Tuesday Livestream Telethon Alpine Theatre Project is putting a modern spin on the age-old telethon fundraiser for Giving Tuesday this year, and inviting everyone to join them in person or online. To kick off ATP's year-end fundraising campaign, it will be holding a live event formatted like a traditional telethon on Tuesday, November 27 from 4pm-9pm at ATP's headquarters, The Garage, located at 6464 Hwy 93 South in Whitefish. The event, featuring live in-studio performances by ATP students, clips of past productions, testimonials from those enriched by ATP's programs, and thank-you calls to ATP's donors, will be streamed live online on ATP's website, atpwhitefish.org.

Giving Tuesday, often stylized as #GivingTuesday for purposes of hashtag activism, refers to the Tuesday after Thanksgiving in the United States. It is a movement to create an international day of giving at the beginning of the Christmas and holiday season. Giving Tuesday was started in 2012 by the 92nd Street Y and the United Nations Foundation as a response to commercialization and consumerism in the post-Thanksgiving season with events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Alpine Theatre Project's year-end fundraising campaign comes at the end of an annual season filled with 16 professional theatre performances featuring Broadway actors, 3 cabaret concerts, 7 educational performances, a 3-week summer camp and master classes taught by Broadway artists, 3 free site-specific play readings, and the launch of the ATP Academy after-school theatre classes. Over 300 students from all walks of life across the Flathead Valley participated in ATP's educational programs this year, including 174 First through Eighth Graders who recently performed in The Lion King Jr.

Alpine Theatre Project relies on community support to keep programs like these accessible to all, including every student who wishes to participate in its classes and productions. No student is ever turned away.

The Alpine Theatre Project Livestream Telethon will be held live at The Garage, 6464 Hwy 93 South in Whitefish on Tuesday, November 27 from 4pm-9pm. People are encouraged to stop by with a suggested donation or watch online at atpwhitefish.org/givingtuesday. They can call ATP at 406-862-7469 for more information.
