THE HISTORY 

Our roots trace back to the ambitious vision of the Olympia Improvement Company in 1920, which aimed to transform Hobe Sound into a Greek inspired haven for the arts and film, famously dubbed "Picture City." Despite the setbacks of the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane, our town's spirit and unique heritage have endured.  Some of the original lamp posts from the 1920's still line the road right around the corner from the Olympia Theatre, and the neighborhood still features the Greek road names established back then. Today the Olympia Theatre of Hobe Sound stands as a testament to this legacy and a promise for the future. It aims to reignite Hobe Sound's artistic flame, offering a stage for independent films, local music, stage performances and more. Positioned as the premier destination for the arts in our community, the Olympia Theatre is not just  is not just reviving history: it's setting the stage for a new are of cultural richness and diversity in Hobe Sound. Join us in making this vision a reality, where the pst's echoes inspire tomorrow's creations.

We discovered an abandoned movie theatre that had been empty for decades, right at the center of town. The bare bones we found were close enough to what we were looking for to begin plans to move forward with a buildout. Basically an empty cube-like space with a front room and an upstairs projection room. It was pretty dark but we managed to get some photos of the room that will become the perfomance space. The space is totally raw at the moment as you can see but it sparked the vision of creating the theatre. We have a big job ahead of us to gather the professionals and the funding to turn this black hole into the Olympic Theatre.
