Do you love the smell of popcorn, the anticipation of a movie starting, spending time with family, and seeing old friends?

The Skyline Theatre Project would like to revive the Historic Skyline Theatre into a multi-entertainment theater showing second run films, film festivals, documentaries and independent films, outdoor adventure films, live music, speakers, performing arts and more!

The Skyline Movie Theatre operated from 1940 into the 1980's, when it closed and Walt's Plumbing operated out of the building ever since. The building is a candidate to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is centrally located in our downtown close to restaurants, shopping, and hotel accommodations.  Located at 14 N Franklin it is right in the locally designated historic and main street districts.

The Skyline Theatre Project is pursuing the purchase and renovation of the Historic Skyline Theatre. We want to revive this local treasure into a community gathering spot that will preserve Pinedale's history,  reinforce Pinedale's culture, provide entertainment and community connection, and generate economic development for our downtown during the evening  and off season. 

We have spent the last year, researching the building history, developing a business plan, initial programming, and reviewing the building condition and putting together preliminary renovation and operation costs. We have been fortunate to have received support from the Wyoming Community Foundation, the Wyoming Arts Council, Wyoming Main Street, Jorgensen Associates, Paul Rock Appraisals, High Mountain Real Estate, Greenwood Law/Bing Law P.C., and the property owners Joe and Annie Sondgeroth who have been gracious and patient throughout. 

It's time for the next step! Purchase of the property!

The Skyline Theatre Project needs to raise $170,000  in order to purchase the property before June 28, 2019, and begin writing grants to fund the renovation. Funds will go towards the purchase of the property but will also be used as matching funds to apply for larger grants to fund Phase 2, the renovation.
