Live Entertainment in Helena

Helena Civic Center is Montana's most architecturally magnificent performing arts venue — a beautifully preserved 1921 building presenting concerts, theater, and cultural events for Montana's capital city. Helena's extraordinary history as a territorial gold rush city and its role as Montana's seat of government create a performing arts community shaped by both frontier heritage and governmental culture.

The Myrna Loy Center is Helena's performing arts hub — a 275-seat multi-use venue in the historic county jail building that presents film screenings, concerts, theater, and community arts events for Montana's state capital. Named for the Helena-born Hollywood star, the Myrna Loy punches well above its small capacity with adventurous programming that serves Helena's government, legal, and university professional community with cultural offerings beyond what frontier-town stereotypes might suggest.
