Our Mission, Goals and Methods

The mission of the Foundation for the Rex Theater is to bring art and culture to the city of Priest River and surrounding areas by restoring the Theater to its original beauty and purpose. Artists, musicians and community members have come together to work toward this goal. The theater will host music events, plays, dinner shows and other events desired by the community.

We have secured an organizational assessment study, defined our business plan and are establishing a donor campaign that reaches both near and far. We will communicate our progress on this website and on our Facebook page.

Members of the Foundation Board include Brian Runberg, Katlyn Ward, Chad Summers, Anne Maxham, Dave Gebhardt, Geoff Rusho, Gary Stewart, Candy Naccarato, Peggy Smith, Sheryl Reeve and Dan Eskelson.

Advisors include architect Dawn Bushnaq, structural engineer Craig Crowley of DCI Engineers, and funding expert Jim Zuberbuhler.

With continued organization, perseverance and community support the Rex Theater will again bring art and culture to our region.
