Whiteside Theatre Foundation
The Whiteside Theatre Foundation is currently raising funds to rehabilitate and reopen the Whiteside Theatre.
The Whiteside Theatre Foundation supports a multi-purpose entertainment and events venue in the restored historic Whiteside Theatre that enhances economic vitality and cultural diversity of downtown Corvallis for the benefit of the entire community.
Brothers Samuel and George Whiteside were pioneers in the movie industry in Corvallis and operated seven theatres in the area. They built both the more intimate Majestic Theatre, used primarily for live theatre productions, as well as the larger, more resplendent movie-palace style Whiteside Theatre. The Whiteside Theatre Foundation looks forward to continuing this cooperative relationship among all downtown theatres to foster a vibrant entertainment district that attracts more people to downtown Corvallis. We envision the Whiteside, Darkside, and Majestic Theatres as key anchors of this entertainment triangle.
