THE LONG AWAITED

Restoration & Renovation

IS NOW UNDERWAY

INTRODUCING...

The "Historic Auditorium"

A MUSIC AND PERFORMING ARTS CENTER in st. croix falls, wisconsin
NEW NAME. NEW OWNERS. NEW FUTURE.

We have exciting updates to share!

The building formerly known as the Civic Auditorium was purchased earlier this year, and big renovations and restorations are underway. While the historic facade, and some of the interior will remain true to it’s history, there will be many updates to this tremendous venue including an elevator, space for a restaurant, a rebirth of a mezzanine, expanded balcony, and of course, an updated stage and seating area.

Our primary tenants are in the process of being secured, but our goal is to provide a home to professional theatre, music, and other performing arts, while also present a much-needed dining option for downtown St. Croix Falls. We are currently accepting idea invitations for those interested in becoming a restaurant or retail tenant.

We invite you to follow our brand new social pages while we update you about the construction process.

FUTURE HOME OF THE

ST. CROIX FESTIVAL THEATRE!

St. Croix Festival Theatre’s mission is to make the performing arts welcoming to all people as an essential part of the well being and vitality of the community.

St. Croix Festival Theatre was formally founded in 1990 as a non-profit 501(c) (3) corporation to provide St. Croix Valley residents and visitors to this scenic region with highest quality of live professional theatre. In the years since, Festival Theatre has produced more than 100 plays for more than 200,000 St. Croix Valley residents and visitors.

Currently, Festival Theatre performs in the Franklin Square Black Box, but we are looking forward to welcoming them back to their original home, as a major tenant of the Historic Auditorium, upon completion of the restoration.
