The Nevada Theatre is California’s oldest original-use theater. It is located downtown in the picturesque gold mining town of Nevada City. The building, California Historic Landmark No. 863, has seen thousands of presentations over its near-150 year history including performances from Mark Twain and Emma Nevada to Mötley Crüe and The Second City comedy troupe. Today it is a vital part of the community and is used for live theatre, movies, and special events.

KVMR community radio 89.5 FM and the historic Nevada Theatre will join forces to build a new home for the station in downtown Nevada City and to expand backstage space and increase programming in the 146-year-old theater.
The two organizations will reconstruct the three “tin sheds” behind the theater, creating a building to house KVMR’s operations, with additional dressing and green rooms for the theater. “This is such an exciting marriage–the theater of the stage meets the theater of the mind,” said Michael Young, president of KVMR’s board of directors. “We will construct a building that will be the pride of the community and underscore downtown Nevada City as the go-to place for arts and entertainment.”
