On a crisp Saturday evening, the neon lights of the
once again glowed along Main Street. Inside, nearly every seat was filled as the community gathered for a live performance of “An Evening with Gershwin.”
“It’s more than a show—it’s a homecoming,” said, looking out at the crowd. “This theater has seen so much history, and we’re proud to see it thriving again.”
Originally built in 1937, the Roxy was once the heart of Colville’s downtown. After years of disrepair, volunteers and local donors rallied to restore the space, complete with new lighting, sound, and seating.
Mayor Mike Cline summed it up best: “The Roxy isn’t just about entertainment—it’s about connection. It’s proof that when this community comes together, we can breathe new life into old dreams.”
As the final notes echoed through the hall, applause filled the theater—a standing ovation not just for the performers, but for Colville itself.
