To Our Community

For more than a century, this building has been a gathering place on Main Street, a room where Spearfish comes together to laugh, to listen, and to be moved. We’re committed to keeping these doors open and these lights on, because we believe the arts belong to everyone who walks through them. Preserving this historic theater isn’t only about honoring the past. It’s about making sure the next generation has a stage to grow into.

Keep the spark alive in downtown Spearfish

Every show, class, and open door here is made possible by people who believe in this place. Your gift helps us preserve a historic theater, welcome new artists to our stage, and keep the arts within reach for our whole community. Join us, and become part of the story we’re still writing.
