Vision

The historic Soo Theatre is the premier home for diverse arts programming and education, collaborating with artists, organizations, schools, and the community to encourage the creation, appreciation, performance, and understanding of the arts.  We seek to nurture a vibrant arts community, foster artistic excellence, and bring people together for powerful shared experiences that inspire and create an exchange of ideas.
