About South Bend Civic Theatre

Welcome to South Bend Civic Theatre (SBCT), a downtown cornerstone for live theatre in South Bend, Indiana. Housed in the former Scottish Rite Building since 2007, SBCT operates as a two-theatre complex featuring the Wilson Mainstage Auditorium (approximately 209 seats) and the Warner Studio Theatre (roughly 70–90 seats depending on configuration). Whether you’re seeking classic productions or contemporary musicals, SBCT delivers engaging performances with a local flair. We’ve got you covered for easy, reliable ticket access, parking, and nearby amenities to enhance your theatre night in South Bend.

Plan your visit with confidence: free parking is available in the connected lot north of the building and around the circumference of the venue. Downtown South Bend is served by Transpo buses with routes stopping near Main Street, so you can map a convenient transit option. After the show, you’ll find a range of nearby hotels and dining options to suit your preferences. Consider staying at Courtyard South Bend Downtown, DoubleTree by Hilton South Bend, Inn at Saint Mary’s, or Hilton Garden Inn South Bend for a comfortable stay within easy reach of SBCT. And if you’re curious about SBCT’s history, the theatre opened in its current home in 2007 after moving from the Firehouse at 701 Portage Ave; the Firehouse is no longer SBCT’s home. For future productions and updates, follow SBCT’s official channels and connect with our affiliate partners for seamless booking and recommendations.
