Great Bend Community Theatre

An absolutely wonderful venue we are all proud of and very lucky to have. It is a jewel of Great Bend that is a historic Crest movie theater converted into a contemporary Play house.

This community theatre was converted from the old Crest movie theater, which I believe might have been the first cinema in Great Bend. When they fire up the old neon Crest sign along with the flashing lights, it takes you back to a simpler time (or for me, a very simple time since I wasn't born yet). The building is not immaculate, but it is more than adequate. It has a large seating area along with a balcony with additional seating. The old style seats add to the nostalgia factor. The performances are always entertaining. It's not Broadway, but for a small town I think they put on a good show typically. Tickets are very affordable. Go enjoy a good show in a historic venue!
