Tower Theatre, Entertainment venue in downtown Bend, United States.
The Tower Theatre is an entertainment venue with 460 seats in downtown Bend that hosts classical music concerts, theatrical productions, and film screenings. The seating is arranged to provide good sightlines from virtually every location in the house.
The building was constructed in 1940 and displays Art Deco Moderne architectural elements that remain visible today. A major renovation in 2004 updated the technical infrastructure while preserving the original design character.
The theatre's name on its 40-foot tower is framed by more than 1,200 feet of green and gold neon tubing, a landmark of downtown Bend since 1940. From 1948 the stage hosted fashion shows, variety shows, an amateur hour and ballet alongside films booked through Columbia, RKO, Monogram and Warner Bros.
The venue is located on NW Wall Street in downtown and hosts events on more than 170 days each year. Visitors should check what type of production is scheduled and what entry requirements may apply.
A nonprofit organization operates the venue with a focus on making artistic experiences accessible to people from varied backgrounds. This approach sets it apart from typical commercial event spaces that prioritize profit alone.
