Butler Little Theatre is located in Butler, 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 t

he 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.

Thanks for a fantastic opening weekend! We took a break yesterday and Hay Fever is back on tonight at 7:30 pm.

Every chaotic household needs:
✔ Someone trying to hold it together
✔ Someone who has seen it all

Katy Wayne (Clara) — doing her best
Jud Stewart (Richard Greatham) — calmly observing the chaos with the quiet confidence of a man who is not at all surprised by any of this
We’ll let that speak for itself.

Onstage: siblings.
Offstage: very much not.

Sam Thinnes and Molly Miller bring all the charm, chemistry, and just enough chaos to make you question everything.

We’ll leave it there.

Happy Opening Night!

An actress. Playing an actress. What could be more dramatic?

Heidi Nichols Bowser is Judith Bliss — theatrical, extravagant, and absolutely living for it.

And honestly? So are we.

One arrived for a quiet weekend…
The other made it considerably more interesting.

Matt Leslie (Sandy Tyrell) — doing his best to keep up as everything spirals.

Laila Tyler (Jackie Coryton) — enthusiastic, charming, and perhaps a little too ready for the drama.

This weekend is off to a fantastic start.

One is perfectly at home in the chaos…
The other walked straight into it.

Andrew Miller (David Bliss) — unbothered, tea in hand, as the world unravels around him.

Megan Flannery (Myra Arundel) — poised, perceptive, and quickly realizing this weekend was a mistake.

🎵 The Hay Fever Character Playlist 🎵 (Sound up, please!) Our cast picked theme songs for their characters and the results are exactly as chaotic as you’d expect.

Can you match the songs to the characters? 👀
Drop your guesses below ⬇️

(And yes, one character apparently has THREE theme songs. We’re choosing not to unpack that.)

One week until the Bliss family chaos begins. We open next Friday!

A perfectly civilized weekend. A house full of oversized personalities. And absolutely no one behaving as they should.

Join us for Butler Little Theatre’s final show of the season — Hay Fever by Noël Coward.

Sharp wit, theatrical chaos, and enough social discomfort to delight absolutely everyone.

A retired actress who never stopped acting.
A novelist who prefers his tea over your feelings.
Two children with a flair for drama.
And four very unfortunate guests.
What could possibly go wrong?
