LIVE Theatre Returns to the Historic Elitch Theatre with ELITCH ENCORE!
Helen Bonfils made her first appearance at Elitch Theatre in 1934, and 90 years later she is the subject of the first full live production on the Historic Elitch stage since 1991.
The Bonfils Girl, written by Colorado playwright Mike Broemmel and directed by Selena Naumoff, stars Karilyn Starks as Helen Bonfils.
It would be impossible to fully recount the work of Helen Bonfils at the Historic Elitch Theatre. From her first acting role in Men in White (1934), to her years as a producer at the theatre, Bonfils is arguably the second most important woman in the 130+ year success of the theatre. (Second only to Mary Elitch — and Haila Stoddard is third in the list.)
