Pecha Kucha (peh-chak-cha) offers anyone with a passion or a vision--designers, artists, inventors, architects, adventurers, enterpreneurs-an opportunity to share their ideas with the community during a fast-paced, friendly social get-together. There's just one catch-presenters have only 20 slides x 20 seconds each, a total of 6 minutes, 40 seconds!
Actor, comedian, singer and teacher Cara Wilder will serve as Master of Ceremonies. The Emerson Grill is the presenting sponsor for the February event.

Pecha Kucha (sounds like chit-chat in Japanese) was created 10 years ago by a Tokyo architectural firm. Events are now held in more than 700 cities around the world.  More information is available on Facebook at pecha-kucha-bozeman or by emailing pechakuchabozeman@gmail.com   You are encouraged to come early to socialize.  There will be a 20-minute intermission.

Advance tickets ($7 plus $1 restoration fee) are available online at theellentheatre.com
Tickets also are available at the box office and at the door for $8 ($5 for students) space permitting.
