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 (against all odds!), 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 great espresso beverages.

To keep up with the latest news about movies, events, performances and ice cream, please subscribe to our updates.

Closed for a Travel Opportunity

Wednesday, March 15 until Sunday, April 2, 2023

Many of you may know that we travel a couple times a year. When you’re the owners, operators and clean-up crew for the business, that means you have to – unfortunately – close for a couple weeks. We promise when we get back from the Galapagos and Amazon Rainforest we’ll share our stories with you. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
