The mission of the Historic West Bend Theatre, Inc. (HWBT) is to form a non-stock domestic charity in the State of Wisconsin for the purpose of restoring the West Bend Theatre located at 125 Main Street, West Bend, Wisconsin, to a safe and functional historic building for use by both public and private entities, and to create opportunities within that space to benefit the greater Washington County community in the areas of education, entertainment, and the arts. Specifically, the Organization will procure and promote opportunities for arts education designed to facilitate cultural awareness and build creative self-confidence, to present a broad and diverse array of performing and visual arts, and to act as a gathering place and focal point for various types of cultural activity.
