The first performance by the company was There's Always Juliet in 1953. In 1963, the company decided it needed a home and moved into a church in downtown Billings. Five years later, the church became condemned and effort to build a new home began. In 1971, Billings Studio Theatre opened its doors to a new theatre located in the now central part of Billings located next to the Rocky Mountain College campus. Billings Studio Theatre is NOT operated by RMC but is a 501 (c)(3) stand alone nonprofit organization. .[2]
In 2013, BST became the first community theater company in Montana to stage a "full version of the musical "Les Misérables"."[3]
About 500 people a year volunteer at the theater. BST presents 8 Main Stage productions. Additional shows presented at the BST include one or two Rocky Mountain College productions annually. BST also "operates a children's theatre, The Growing Stage."[4]
