THE PINK GARTER THEATER

Jackson, Wyoming

The Pink Garter Theatre was started in 1959 by Paula Jeffries, a richly flamboyant woman described by one source as “the most beautiful ugly woman I’ve ever met in my life.” Since it was built, the theater hosted Western-style plays to attract tourists during the summer, while community theater and events filled it during the off-season and wintertime. The building has been owned by local investment groups, different Utah politicians and a New York investment group, among others, since it opened. Then it lay dormant for ten years until a theatre company started up and ran for two years from 2007 to 2008. After they went bust it became the home to the movie “Jackson Hole to the Max” in 2009. Once the hype had faded Poppa Presents stepped in and was pivotal in getting a liquor license for the venue and finally turning it into a live music venue for downtown Jackson. So come down and see what everyone is talking about with our lineup of shows this summer.
