The Historic Chief Theater fosters relationships with valued Community Partners. During the Paul Bunyan Playhouse's off-season, we host performances and events not only from touring shows, but from other fine and performing arts organizations from around Bemidji. This creates a ripple effect throughout the community, helping to foster love for the arts and provide unforgettable experiences. We welcome the opportunity to partner with new groups who share our outlook.

Auditions are open to everyone, and membership does not affect who is cast. The theater season usually includes three shows varying from comedies to mysteries to tragedies to children's theater. BCT prides itself in encouraging local people to produce theater for the local community. New members are always welcome whether they choose to do only one show or be active for the next 30 years.
