Coeur d’Alene never ceases to amaze us. Not only do we get to enjoy the obvious beauty and all the lovely people who live here, but our Lake City offers so many other benefits! Like Theater!! But not just any Theater… Aspire Community Theatre.

Great Local Entertainment

Aspire Community Theatre (ACT) is unlike any other. How, you may ask?  To start, they are a completely non-profit run organization with experienced theatrical artists in charge. It’s a community theater, staffed 100% by volunteers, yet working at a professional level.  As a result, you can count on exceptional and entertaining performances each and every time.

Their Mission

Aspire was founded because many parents of children in theater were unable to find other options once their children graduated.  Their only other option was acting at a professional level.   Creating this theater was a way they could continue to learn and expand their acting abilities right here at home.   Aspire is a conservatory theatre, which means, the students will learning through out each production because they are involved in each aspect of the production.  Aspire incorporates a wide a wide range of groups and ages to keep things lively. Plus, they “not only develop artists, but theater enthusiasts through education and exposure”.  

 Aspire’s mission “is to enrich, entertain and educate our community through exceptional live theater which inspires the imagination and provokes contemplation of truth. Our goal is to honor, reflect and collaborate with the greater community we serve, creating leaders for the future, as we form partnerships today.”  And they do just that!

 A Gift To The Community   

Theater is a gift – for both the audience and artists and with 600 season ticket holders it seems like our community agrees.  Bringing together experienced theatrical artists combined with young talent and community leaders; Aspire is determined to improve the lives of not only the artists and productions but this community.  They provide a venue “For the next generation of characters”.   Because of their local success, they are the only theater in the pacific northwest playing Mama Mia! First show is February 8th.

“Our first Aspire experience was for “Catch Me If You Can”.   We were intrigued when they said it would be a MUSICAL!  We loved the movie and were so interested in seeing how it could be made as a musical.   Aspire took that movie to a whole new level as a musical play.  We loved it!  Above all, it was so creative and a throughly enjoyable performance.  We laughed and enjoyed every minute of it.  Aspire offers a diverse and multi-faceted mixture of talent we have not seen in community theater.  If you are looking for a great entertaining evening, go to a performance.  Finally, Mamma Mia would make a wonderful treat for your Valentine!
