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.

Spotlight on the Star of the Dream: Steve Wells
The Architect of the Modern Dream
While every great production requires a dedicated cast, the "Great Rescue" of the Dream Theatre had a true leading man. Steve Wells was more than a volunteer; he was the heartbeat behind the neon. Steve understood that a historic landmark requires more than just a name—it requires a champion.
As the primary architect of the theater’s modern survival, Steve took center stage during the "Great Rebuild." From his tireless work with the City of Russell to his legendary passion for the annual Halloween shows, he ensured the Dream remained a "living monument" rather than a memory. Steve didn't just keep the lights on; he made them shine brighter for the next generation. Though he has taken his final bow, his legacy remains the most enduring performance in our 100-year history.
