Bay Community Theatre | Suttons Bay
The Bay Community Theatre Organization was founded in December 2018 to continue the long legacy of a community-oriented movie house in the heart of Suttons Bay.
For more than 70 years The Bay has been a place for the community to come together to enjoy wonderful films and live events. In December 2018, the family-owned Bay Theatre was set to close permanently. Upon hearing this news, the local community rallied to create a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and take over the operation of the theatre.
The new non-profit showed its first film at The Bay on January 1, 2019. Over the course of 2019, community support continued to grow with enthusiastic movie lovers, a large group of volunteers, and generous donations.
Our mission is to enhance the access and appreciation for cinema, performing, and literary arts by providing a local venue for cultural, intellectual, and educational programs, and to maintain and protect the historic Bay Theater building.
