Lovely theater, especially for the size of town. You can really tell all the actors have a big heart for the theater.

The Panida stole my heart from the very first show we saw there. It really is like a step back in time with the architecture, furnishings, heavy velvet curtains and velvet seats. The staff and volunteers are great and very accomodating. When you go, see if you can find the mural on the wall that isnt quite like the others. Its a very funny story. Enjoy and go often!

Historic venue with mostly good presentations and occasional duds like the Follies. Otherwise worth the visit. Good seating. Volunteer help. Few restroom facilities. On busy nights they have limited beer and wine selections but everything is reasonable.

Such a great place! It has an old feel to the building that adds to the ambiance. If you live in sandpoint chances are at some time you will find yourself either walking past this building or even going inside for one of the many events/ shows that happen here. The glow of the theater lights add such a beauty to this small town!

The play and performers were awesome! But my knees & feet froze. I had to take my coat off to cover my legs. It must be a nightmare to heat this place in winter. So bundle up and wear your best long johns.

The show was great, not impressed with the guy behind us who whistled at a high-pitch volume actually hurting ears around him whistling should be prohibited.. The balcony needs to be cleaned underneath the seats as in move them and vacuum, seat springs visibly showing through fabric needs to be replaced or upgraded.

Nice local theater with an eclectic mix of plays, live music, and movies. Toss in a few screenings of film festivals from Banff, Oscar presentations, and even local and PNW films. Theres so much going on you will want to get on their e-mail list. Beer and wine served too.

Awesome atmosphere, great shows, local beer. I recommend the balcony because it has velvet love seats. Ive seen a magic show, some films and they also have music and other live entertainment. Highly recommend this historic theater for date night, family night or any excuse to annoy downtown Sandpoint.

Theater is good. Didnt care for the Beatles impersonaters. John chomped on gum the entire time. I wont see them again. Especially pay for them.

Review №33

Love going here for live music. Absolutely hate that they allow the public to swarm the front of stage and dance. It is very disruptive to the audience and performers. We will not return until you put a stop to the Yahoos who ruin the shows.

We saw Marshall McLean and the Shook Twins tonight, and we got to see Marshall McLean and Anna Tivel here, last year. Great shows and sound system. The lighting needs some work and the seats are terrible though. Sore butt and back from sitting in them.
