Red Wing's turn-of-the-century Sheldon Theatre showcases the best in arts and entertainment from Minnesota's heartland and beyond. It operates year-round, presenting a broad range of touring events -- including music, theatre, dance, comedy, films, lectures and more. The Sheldon also produces its own shows starring local artists and performing arts groups -- including Sheldon Theatre Brass Band, Phoenix Theatre and Red Wing Singers.
Programming caters to an eclectic mix of ages and tastes. Club Sheldon features everything from rock to Latin music in a party-style atmosphere. Family Adventures brings fairytales and storybooks to life for kids of all ages. Reel-to-Reel is designed for cinema buffs with a taste for classic films. Country Music ranges from foot-stompin' Branson to traditional cowboy tunes. Performing Arts celebrates classical and world music, dance and theatre. Great Entertainers showcases the biggest names in show biz.

Built in 1904 with funds from local businessman T.B. Sheldon, it is the country's first city-owned theatre. In 1986, it was gloriously restored to its original grandeur. Described as a "glittering jewel box," it charms performers and audiences alike.
