The Panida Theater will be celebrating its first one hundred years in 2027. The Panida Centennial Celebration Committee has been busy at work creating an archives of the theater’s first one hundred years.
The committee — Katelyn Shook, Susan Bates-Harbuck, Donna Guthrie, Jana Shields, Jim Healey, Gail Trotta, Doug Jones, and Karen Davis — is reaching out to the community for items dealing with the Panida’s rich history: programs, posters, photographs, ticket stubs, newspaper articles, and anything else that deals with the theater.
If you choose to donate the items, then they will be added to the Panida’s archives. If you want to retain possession of the item, then please make a photocopy of the item. The photocopy then can be donated to the Panida. Or you can bring in the original to the Panida office and the staff will make a copy for the archives.
If photographs are being donated, please identify the people in the photographs, the event, and the date.
Items can be dropped off in the Panida office between noon and 4:00 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Or they can be mailed to the Panida Theater, P.O. Box 1981, Sandpoint, Idaho 83864.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask at panidatheater@panida.org
Thank you so much for loving and supporting this incredible community treasure.
