CELEBRATING 98 YEARS

October 25, 2025 marks the 98th anniversary of the opening of the Chateau Dodge Theatre (1927), and to celebrate this milestone we are pleased to present a new historical exhibit, curated by Lucy Kruesel with the support of her father John Kruesel, Sean Kettlekamp, and Judge Kevin Lund. 

The exhibit features artifacts and memorabilia from nearly a century of performances, films, and memories! We invite you to explore these objects that help tell the story of the Chateau.
