In the City of Lynden the Dutch Village Mall was created in 1987 by Jim and Carolyn Wynstra, and Judd Rinsema, containing a 160-seat theatre named after a Queen of the Netherlands, Juliana, who reigned from 1948-1980. The original theatre was in keeping with the Dutch theme of the city and was named the “The Queen Juliana Theatre”.

The Lynden Performing Arts Guild would like to take a moment to recognize the businesses who came together to remodel our precious community theater.  Without their hard work and commitment, none of this beautiful update you see around you would have been possible. Cascade Drywall, Lynden Interiors, Liquid Applications, with extended appreciation to Excel Electrical Contractor and Westside Building Supply who went above and beyond to contribute to the project.

Finally, we want to give our rousing round of applause to Element Hospitality who not only have been our friends and neighbors in this building, but provided the project management, supervision, carpentry and general labor.  Their dedication to this community and our theater, both in their involvement and financial support, cannot be understated.  We all owe them a debt of gratitude.  

We’d like you to take a moment to consider a financial contribution to our project.  As you can imagine, it was a costly undertaking to protect our theater for years to come.   Material overages, unexpected challenges, rising inflation put a financial burden on our little non-profit.  If you would like to make a donation, please click on our ‘support’ tab.
