The Butler Little Theatre has entertained the community since February 1941, making BLT one of the oldest continuously-operated theaters in Western Pennsylvania.

BLT History

Although there are programs dating back to 1921, the Butler Little Theatre received its official charter in June 1941 with performances at The Lees Restaurant (tickets were 50 cents!), the Butler High School, and the Sterling Club. In 1945 the group purchased the carriage house known as Campbell's Barn, occupied by the John Eisler Inspection Station. The members themselves remodeled the building at One Howard Street to make it suitable for theatrical performances and have continued to add improvements over the years. The theater seats 155 people and presents five shows during its regular season, holds classes for children, and is one of the oldest continuously-running community theaters in Western Pennsylvania.

Butler Little Theatre is a member of the Butler Arts Council, the Butler County Tourism & Convention Bureau, the Butler County Chamber of Commerce, and the American Association of Community Theatre.
