Columbia Theatre - Hammond
The Columbia Theatre for the Performing Arts is owned and operated by Southeastern Louisiana University. Many know it as a building in Downtown Hammond with an extensive historic past and tons of charm, but only attendees of its immersive, edge-of-your-seat performances know its true identity as the Dream Factory. Established in 1928, the historic theatre has a long, significant history within the Hammond community and Southeastern Louisiana— including its triumphant renovation in 2002, a landmark accomplishment for Southeastern Louisiana University, the City of Hammond, and Hammond’s Downtown Development District. The Columbia Theatre produces plays, musicals and interactive events, screens major motion pictures, and hosts concerts, special events, and a variety of live performances.
