Celebrate 100 Years with Us!
Free Event
Join us in celebrating the 100th year of The Indiana Theater. Opening in 1924 as a vaudeville theater, the space was soon converted to a movie theater for the new talkies. Serving as a community theater, a church, a film theater, and other spaces over the years, the theater is now serving the community as a nonprofit center for the arts.
