Since its remodeling and rebirth in 2001, the historic Liberty Theater in Dayton, Washington has been a home to first-run cinema, live stage productions, guest artist concerts, foreign films, short-film festivals, civic events and even weddings. In other words, it is a unique community place.
During a time when public school funding for the Arts has suffered, we are constantly pursuing our mission to preserve and enhance the Arts in Columbia County and Southeast Washington State as an indispensable dimension to our shared ecology and humanity. For the last 20 years, the Liberty Theater has helped connect people, strengthen families, develop youth leadership and enhance positive self-image across all ages. With both financial support and the skills and talents of many, we are a true partnership of people who believe in what we do.
