Thanks for stopping by The Comfort Theatre Company...
We’re glad you found us!
It has been said that live performances should
“change the air around you.” It should touch a spot inside of
you, reminding you of a similar place and time in your life and somehow leave
you changed. In 1997 we only had a dream--a new and exciting concept grown
from a lifetime of experience as artists. Here we are hundreds of shows
and tens of thousands of patrons after opening night. And we feel like
we're just getting started...
We had been involved in successful ventures
for over 20 years, but the South Dakota Arts Council gave us the backing to be
an independent, multi-faceted company. We produced “Always
Patsy Cline”, the immensely popular musical play
that ran for nine years, that by popular demand is
now available as a concert of Cline songs that features Kaija Bonde and the
Poker Alice Band. 
Today we offer a “menu” of musical events
besides the Cline show: “East of
Westreville” is a collection of bluegrass, blues, gospel & country music
featuring Boyd Bristow, Kaija & Bonde and Al Slaathaug--now also available with
fiddler Kenny Putnam. “Of Thee I
Swing”
is an original review that recreates a 1940’s Broadway cabaret show, performed
by Kaija Bonde & Gene McGowan’s Jazz Trio. Our latest project is “New
Orleans Nights” featuring the traditional jazz & blues you may have
heard on Bourbon Street decades ago featuring Kaija & The First Thursday
Dixieland Band.

onstage. Who knows… you may end up changed too!
