Entertainment

The Dawn Theater has seen many forms of entertainment grace its stage, especially back in its nightclub years. Today, we’ve pulled the old paneling away to expose the original theater design, and dare we say it… it sounds even better. They knew what they were doing in the 1900s. Experience the acoustical sensations for yourself. Bring your band, your comedy act, your small-scale theater production, we want to see you in lights.
