Lewiston Civic Theatre

Built by the Lewiston Methodist Church in 1907, the building and many of its features are currently in the process of restoration. This lovely historic castle-like structure is home to the theatre since 1972. When first purchased the church and the theater shared the building. Housed in the historic Bollinger Performing Arts Center is the award winning Lewiston Civic Theatre

A janitor who disappeared that same night and never found murdered two girls in the theater that was once a church. People in the theatre see the little girl at night and she delights to playing tricks on anyone there.

Another apparition is a woman, left at the altar when it was a church. She moves through the theater crying.

Actors see a former director’s late at night. He sits down and watches the show and those that cannot see him, feel his presence.

A trap door in a light booth that goes up to the rafter opens by itself and light go on and off without anyone touching the switch. A chandelier spins in one direction for ten minutes, stops for five, and starts spinning in the same direction.

Visitors lit candles on stage and immediately some went out on their own. The ones that didn’t go out, did not burn the holder’s hand when they touched the flame. About the same time, there was wailing that started from stage right and moved inhumanly fast to stage left. Floorboards move inexplicably. All the spirits there are harmless, of course, but it's still an exhilarating experience. The theater is located at 805 6th Avenue.
