This is the National Register of Historic Places listing for this theater. It gives Missouri Ave as the address. I’m not sure which of those names is the architect.

Here is a photo of the Fort Peck Theater.
Some good photos both interior and exterior at their official web page. Very rustic – outside is like a large fancy barn, with exposed timbers and stucco walls – large single level of seats. But what we can see of the proscenium looks almost art-moderne – very interesting combination. Looks like a great place to see a show!
Correction to my comment above: seats not all on one level. Stadium seating at back.
