BUTTE, MT - The World Museum of Mining is thrilled to announce the staging of “Butte the Bold,” an all-original, all-volunteer, living history play that brings Butte’s rich history to life. The play will be held at the Covellite Theatre on July 11 and July 18, 2024.
“Butte the Bold” tells the (mostly true) story of some lesser-known, yet no less important, characters and events in Butte’s past. The legendary miner and storyteller Matty Kiely narrates the play, portrayed by Butte’s own John Emeigh. Kiely guides the audience through each act, painting a colorful picture of some of Butte’s most captivating stories 12.
The Covellite Theatre, a historic structure built in 1896 and located in Uptown Butte, provides the perfect backdrop for this journey through time.
Doors open at 6:30 PM, and the show begins at 7:30 PM. Tickets are available for $25.00. All proceeds from the event will support the World Museum of Mining’s mission to preserve and present the history of mining and the cultural heritage of Butte.
