The Covellite Theatre & Lounge:
A masterpiece in the heart of Uptown Butte

Originally built as the First Presbyterian Church in 1896, The Covellite Theatre in Uptown Butte, Montana is a medium-capacity (350 seat) proscenium stage venue that hosts live music, film screenings, weddings, festivals, live theatre, and more. The Uptown Lounge on the ground floor is an intimate (150 capacity) scene for live music and parties, with a bar, cabaret seating, and a black box stage. In addition to weekly events, Covellite Presents produces the annual Covellite International Film Festival, Butte’s hometown film fest.

This stunning historic structure has served many purposes over the decades, and was first named The Covellite Theatre in the 1990’s. “Covellite” is a rare, iridescent indigo blue copper sulfide mineral found in Mount Vesuvius, Germany, Argentina, and Silver Bow County, Montana, to name a few. Today the venue is home to a variety of events weekly, including live music, stage plays, comedy, film, dance lessons, vaudeville, burlesque, workshops, classes, fundraisers, and more
