Dating back to 1896, when it first opened as the Butte Concert and Beer Hall, The Butte Theater is an enduring Cripple Creek landmark. The venerable old theater has experienced several incarnations – it was an Opera house at one time and a dance studio at another, and was even used as an ice rink at one time. Today the Butte Theater welcomes patrons of the arts to come and admire beautifully restored interiors, period wallpaper and vintage chandeliers as they enjoy a varied selection of live performances, many of which celebrate the theater’s early tradition of melodramas.
