Long Lake Theater history
In 2001,the idea of converting a former church into a live, 100-seat theater. The old church was located in the village of Hubbard. Managing a theater was his lifelong dream, so he pursued it. The former Hubbard Alliance Church was transformed into an intimate theater space. The 'curtain rose' for the first time in June 2002, and it has been entertaining audiences with a line-up of top-notch comedy, drama and musicals ever since. The acting company, Lone Wolf Players, staged many fine productions at Long Lake Theater.
In late 2005, the theater complex expanded by adding a second former church. That's right, another church from the 1890s -- probably one of the oldest buildings in Hubbard. The United Methodist Church of Hubbard was slated for destruction until the theater owner offered to move it next to Long Lake Theater. The church community generously raised funds to cover the moving costs.
On June 1, 2006, northern Minnesota's newest art space, called The Landmark, opened. Initially, the versatile space was an art gallery open freely to the public and featuring selected regional artists as well as artwork from Maria's Children International, a Moscow-based arts rehabilitation center for Russian orphans. The space also had a stage, piano and workshop area for theater classes or rehearsals.
After more renovation, The Landmark opened in June 2008 as a cozy, 100-seat theater.
