The Playmill Theatre opened in 1964 and over 50 years later has become one of the most popular tourist spots near Yellowstone National Park. Over 35,000 people attend a play or musical at the theatre every summer and former cast members have appeared in Broadway shows.

​This year the theatre will feature The Little Mermaid, Annie Get Your Gun and Newsies. You can purchase tickets here and learn more about the Playmill here.
