An alphabetical listing of all the plays presented by BLT since 1948.

The Boise Little Theater began its distinguished history of continuous productions in 1948, making it one of the oldest all volunteer community theaters in the nation. It has demonstrated an extraordinary stability, many of its members having been with the organization for over forty years, and some from the very beginning.

After a devastating fire in 1957 that destroyed the theater building at Gowen Field and caused the death of two BLT members, a new theater was built in the Fort Boise area of Boise City. This unique round theater has become a city landmark.

Here's a booklet about our first 60 years.

The theater was originally designed by Aurthur L Troutner of Trus-dek Corp. The plans included the curved laminated beams in the ceiling, one of the first examples of this type of construction. Mr. Troutner went on to form Truss Joist Corporation and he would often visit to show clients an example of the beams that his company was constructing. Except for the front portion of the lobby, all the flat roof is added on. The expansions were part of the original plan designed by Mr. Troutner. Mr. Paul Moehlmann, Sr., Master Brick Mason, and a several volunteers donated the brickwork for the original structure.

BLT produces plays of all genres: contemporary and classical, comedy and drama, mysteries and musicals, and is well-known for its family oriented productions. We hope you will join us as we continue to grow and provide outstanding family theatrical entertainment.
