DJ WINS for Kansas

In 2007, a group of community members met regularly to find solutions to the community’s lack of affordable housing. They realized that it was having a negative effect on families and the community as a whole. Recognizing the need for healthy housing must be available to families of every economic level, in 2008 they formed McPherson Housing Coalition, Inc. And so MHC began providing affordable housing opportunities to families in the community.

The original theater, The Main Street Theater, opened in 1923, was renovated in 1935 and was renamed the Dream Theatre. In 1947, the 590 seat capacity theater was destroyed by fire. The Dream Theatre is an Art Deco style one screen movie theater that opened on Easter Sunday, April 19, 1949 with a 425 seat capacity.

The Dream Theatre was closed by B & B Theatres in 2000. The "Keep the Dream Alive" Committee was formed and paid $6,000 in back taxes and raised $20,000 to reopen the theater. The ten member Board of Directors oversee the day to day operations of the theater with the help of community volunteers that staff the theater Friday through Sunday nights.
