A street view of a small business with signs reading Pepsi, restaurant & sport shop, and a message about reopening after Christmas on a marquee. The building has brick and siding exterior, with a window covered by brown paper, and a door with a small window also covered. An outdoor chair is positioned near the entrance, and the street is lined with a sidewalk and some trees in the distance under a clear blue sky.

A substantial amount of work is to be done to clear a path forward for the new theater. Demo is executed by Mulroy Demolition & Excavating. The demo process is expected to take 10 days from the start date. Please pardon our dust.

Demo Starts July 6, 2026

Culver, this is your community theater.

Located on the shore of Lake Maxinkukee, after a decades long hiatus, The Culver Theater is back—with a renewed physical space, and reengineered purpose to benefit Culver, Indiana and its surrounding communities.


The master plan is to rebuild the theater into a multi-use creative space for movies, art shows, stage productions, lectures and community events—all under a new 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
