"Women of the Braveheart"

The Wi'ne'ma Theatre was built in 1919 and named for a young
Indian girl who devoted her life to establishing friendly relations
between her people, the Modoc Indians, and the white men. The
first performance was on November 20, 1920 and tells the story of
Wi'ne'ma, the theatres namesake.

Designed by Architect, Alfred Henry Jacobs, it was to be a place of
friendly assemblage, blended with its magnificent surroundings,
not to be commercial in nature, in essence to be more than just a
theatre to the community.

A redwood architectural marvel, originally had seating for 600
patrons. It is 128 feet long, 58 feet wide and 45 feet high.

Spared from fire in 1992 and renovated in 2000-2002 with new
seating, lights, sound system and 2000 square foot dance floor. The
Wi'ne'ma Theatre has constantly been used as a place of friendly
assemblage and pride of the Scotia Community.
