Welcome to the Historic Concrete Theatre
& Act One Ice Cream Parlor

The Concrete Theatre was built in 1923 and is the oldest theatre in Skagit County. Valerie Stafford and Fred West have owned the venue since 2009. We’re proud to offer a variety of movies and live entertainment on our stage and screen. In 2021, we purchased the historic building next door and created Act One Ice Cream Parlor, which is now our lobby, box office, and the home of some amazing ice cream from Wisconsin, fresh-baked waffle cones, sundaes, Italian sodas, and a variety of espresso beverages. This year, we created the Act One Art Gallery to feature regional artists and offer another treat (enjoy your ice cream and view some interesting artwork!)

We’ll be open again March 21.
