Wi'ne'ma Theatre was built in 1919 and named for a young Indian girl who devoted her life to establishing friendly relations between her people, the Modoc Indians, and white men. Its first performance, on November 20, 1920, told the story of Wi'ne'ma, the theatre's namesake. Designed by architect Alfred Henry Jacobs, it was intended as a place of friendly assemblage, blended with its magnificent surroundings and not commercial in nature, meant to be more than just a theatre to the community. A redwood architectural marvel, it originally seated 600 patrons and measured 128 feet long, 58 feet wide, and 45 feet high. It was spared from fire in 1992 and renovated in 2000-2002 with new seating, lights, a sound system, and a 2000 square foot dance floor. It has continually served as a place of friendly assemblage and a source of pride for the Scotia community.
