The Washoe Theatre, located in Anaconda, Montana, is a true art deco masterpiece. Opened in 1936, the theatre was designed by renowned architect B. Marcus Priteca and is a testament to a golden age of cinema. Its stunning interior, featuring intricate murals and a grand lobby, has been meticulously preserved.
In 2026, we're celebrating 90 years of the Washoe — nine decades of first-run pictures, community gatherings, and a building that has hardly changed since the day it opened. We're proud to continue the tradition of providing a first-class cinematic experience. From classic films to the latest blockbusters, we strive to create a memorable outing for every guest. The Washoe Theatre isn't just a place to watch a movie; it's a living piece of history.
Come and see for yourself why the Washoe is considered one of the most beautiful theatres in the country. We look forward to welcoming you!
