About Us

Established in 1967, Coeur d’Alene Summer Theatre (CST) is Idaho’s oldest performing arts organization, becoming a non-profit corporation in 1984, CST specializes in production of full-scale Broadway musicals during a 12-week, 36-performance season during the months of June, July, and August. CST performs in The Schuler Auditorium Performing Arts Center in the campus of North Idaho College by the shore of Lake Coeur d’Alene in scenic Coeur d’Alene, Idaho.

Enjoying a large, loyal, and ever growing subscription-based audience, we are proud to have more season ticket holders than any other performing arts organization in the Inland Northwest and a total audience of nearly 30,000 each summer.

Our multi-talented performers are recruited nationally and many have gone on to appear in film, television, and in professional venues, including Broadway stage and tours. We also feature full orchestrations performed by the region’s most accomplished musicians.

The Schuler Performing Arts Center is easily North Idaho’s most beautiful and functional performing arts facility, a modern 1174-seat proscenium theatre contained within Boswell Hall, with state of the art sound and lighting systems.
