The award winning Lewiston Civic Theatre is housed in the historic Bollinger Performing Arts Center.  Built by the Lewiston Methodist Church in 1907, the building and many of its features are currently in the process of restoration.  This lovely historic castle-like structure has been home to your theatre since 1972.  In fact, we once shared the building with the church, when it was first purchased.  Some patrons still remember the rousing sermon that was delivered through the sunroof of a VW Beetle, part of the set of "The Me Nobody Knows," our very first production here!

Prior to our move, shows played in the Porthouse in downtown Lewiston, beginning in 1964.  The Porthouse no longer stands, due to constant water damage from the tides of the Snake River, which were known to flood - but not cancel - many a show.

Our new home was named for renowned opera singer Anne Bollinger, a Lewiston native whose golden voice once filled such great stages as Carnegie Hall, the Hamburg Opera House, and, of course, our own. ~
