The Alberta Bair Theater is more than a theater — it's a beloved cultural landmark that anchors downtown Billings with world-class performances and timeless Art Deco charm. From Broadway tours to symphony concerts and comedy, the Alberta Bair Theater schedule showcases year-round entertainment in Montana’s largest city.

Opened in 1931 as the Fox Theatre and reborn in 1987 as the Alberta Bair Theater, this 1,400-seat venue blends historic elegance with modern comfort. A classic proscenium stage and restored Art Deco details set the tone, while recent renovations introduced upgraded sound and lighting systems for a refined, contemporary experience.

Programming spans concerts, Broadway shows, dance, theater, comedy, and community events. The stage has welcomed celebrated artists like Yo-Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman, Wynton Marsalis, the Vienna Boys Choir, Garrison Keillor, Lyle Lovett, and The Beach Boys, alongside performances by the Billings Symphony Orchestra & Chorale and recurring Broadway touring productions.

The theater’s story is part of Billings’ own history — located on land once homesteaded by Montana businessman Charles M. Bair and named for his daughter, Alberta Bair, in honor of her philanthropic support of the arts. Its striking façade glows after dark, and inside, carefully integrated upgrades elevate every show without sacrificing the building’s vintage soul.

Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, you’ll feel the energy of a community gathering place where unforgettable nights take the stage. Explore the Alberta Bair Theater schedule and plan a performance that fits your perfect night out.

Seating Recommendations and Charts

Alberta Bair Theater offers seating for approximately 1,400 guests, arranged in reserved sections across orchestra, mezzanine, and balcony levels. Check the Alberta Bair Theater schedule to align your seat selection with the performances you’re most excited to see.

Orchestra: For top-notch acoustics and sightlines, center orchestra is a favorite — you’ll be close to the stage with a direct view of the performers on the proscenium. Side orchestra seats keep you near the action while offering a slight angle that many guests enjoy.
Mezzanine: The mezzanine delivers an elevated perspective without feeling far away. It’s a strong choice if you like a fuller view of staging and choreography during Broadway shows and dance performances.
Balcony: Budget-friendly and scenic, the balcony provides a wide vantage of the entire theater and stage. It’s a great option for symphony concerts and large ensemble performances where you want to take in the full production.
Box Seating & Accessible Areas: Box seating offers a more private experience along the sides, while accessible seating is available in multiple locations throughout the theater to accommodate different needs.

Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Alberta Bair Theater

2801 3rd Avenue North

Billings, Montana 59101

Situated in downtown Billings — the largest city in Montana — the theater is easy to reach and close to dining, nightlife, and cultural attractions.

Parking: Street parking and nearby public parking garages are available; parking is generally free after 5 PM and on weekends in downtown Billings.
Public Transit: Billings MET Transit bus routes serve downtown, with stops within walking distance.
Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated drop-off and pickup areas are available near the main entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 45–60 minutes before showtime. This gives you time to park, clear security, grab concessions, and settle into your seats without rushing. If your event falls on a weekend or after work hours, take advantage of generally free downtown parking after 5 PM and allow extra time for popular show nights when garages can fill quickly.

The theater is indoors, so weather rarely impacts performances. However, in winter, icy roads and snow can affect travel and parking conditions — give yourself additional time, especially for evening shows. Public transit via Billings MET Transit is a convenient option, and rideshare services can drop you near the main entrance if you’d rather skip parking altogether.

Inside, walking is minimal, and accessible entrances and elevators help you reach mezzanine and balcony levels. If your seats are in the upper sections, arrive early to navigate stairs or use the elevator and grab a quick snack before the lights dim.

Venue Navigation

The venue layout is straightforward: an orchestra level closest to the stage, followed by mezzanine and balcony tiers for elevated perspectives. Elevators provide access to upper levels, and ramps at the main entrance support smooth entry for all guests.

You’ll find concessions in the lobby areas offering snacks, soft drinks, and limited alcoholic beverages — with occasional local Montana beers and wines available. Restrooms, a coat check, and an ATM are on site, and select performances feature merchandise stands for artists and touring shows. If you’re seated in the balcony or mezzanine, allow a few extra minutes to reach your section and consider using the elevator to avoid stairs.

Security and Policies

Bag Policy: Bags may be subject to search; large bags and backpacks are discouraged.
Prohibited Items: Weapons, outside food and drink, large bags, and professional cameras without prior permission.
Re-entry Policy: Generally not permitted except in emergencies; check with staff for specific events.
Service Animals: Permitted in accordance with ADA guidelines.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

Download your tickets before arriving — cell service can be limited.
Bring a valid ID and cashless payment option.
Charge your phone fully.
Review venue policies in advance.
In winter, plan extra travel time for downtown parking and road conditions.
Don’t miss a quick photo of the illuminated Art Deco façade if you’re arriving after dark.

Pre-Event Planning

Make it a full night out by booking dinner at one of downtown Billings’ standout restaurants before your show. With the theater centrally located, you can park once, enjoy a meal, and stroll to your seats with time to spare. If you’re coordinating with a group, set a meet-up spot in the lobby or near the main entrance to keep everyone on schedule.

If you’re attending an evening performance, take a moment to admire the restored Art Deco façade — it’s especially striking when illuminated at night. Checking the Alberta Bair Theater upcoming events and planning around your favorite genres (Broadway, symphony, or comedy) can help secure your preferred seats early and keep your group’s plans tight.

Inside, concessions offer quick bites, and select shows will have merchandise available. If you prefer minimal lines, arrive early or take advantage of intermission — just remember that re-entry is generally not permitted once you exit the venue.

Accessibility

Alberta Bair Theater is ADA-accessible, with ADA parking available in nearby lots and on-street spaces, accessible seating in multiple locations throughout the theater, ramps at the main entrance, and elevator access to the mezzanine and balcony levels. Assistive listening devices are available upon request to enhance your experience during concerts, plays, and talks.
