Standing Ovations: Our Sponsors

The Dream Theatre is more than just a building; it is a community masterpiece. While our volunteers give their time, our sponsors provide the vital resources that keep the neon burning and the 1949 magic alive. We invite you to meet the visionaries who make every showtime possible.

Producers Circle

In the golden age of cinema, the Producer was the visionary who brought the story to life. Our Producers Circle consists of our premier partners who have committed to the long-term vitality of the Dream. These local leaders are the backbone of our digital home and our historic house, ensuring that our "Living Monument" remains a showstopper on Main Street for generations to come.

Marquee Partners

Just as our historic marquee lights up the night, our Marquee Partners illuminate our mission. These are the names you see shining on Main Street—the businesses and individuals who step forward to sponsor our featured films and special events. Their dedication is visible in every frame of film we project and every bulb that glows above our doors.

We are incredibly grateful for these supporters who helped transform our marquee into the iconic Russell landmark it is today. To be a sponsor at the Dream isn't just a gesture; it’s an investment in our local heritage. Their contributions through movie sponsorships and community support are truly what keep the silver screen on. We invite you to stand with the people who stand with the Dream, ensuring that our "Living Monument" continues to thrive by supporting their businesses.

Our Historic Journey

From the ashes of the 1947 fire rose the "New Dream," an Art Deco masterpiece designed by the legendary Boller Brothers. Today, the Dream Theatre stands as a proud monument to Russell’s resilience and a legacy for future generations.

Born in 1923. Rebuilt in 1949.

Saved by The Community in 2000.
