Theatre Closing, But The Show Goes On

The Cutler Brothers Theatre in Deer Lodge, Montana, is set to close after this summer, marking the end of a decade-long legacy of local arts and family passion. Facing foreclosure and dwindling attendance—driven by younger audiences turning to digital entertainment—the family, who poured their retirement savings into the venue, is pivoting to survival. But hope isn’t gone: Patrick Cutler’s viral TikTok character “Bad Napoleon” has amassed over a million fans, sparking plans for a national tour. As they host their final shows—including “The Time Machine” and “Alice in Wonderland”—they’re rallying the community for one last curtain call, while embracing a new, mobile future for their art.
