 The Boykin Center opened its doors in 1998 and offers a wide range of performances throughout the year. The renovation of this 1919 Vaudeville Theatre, now with plush seating for 650 people, provides the community with a breathtaking venue for the Boykin Center Series each year. Performances include: "The Last of the Red Hot Lovers", starring Gary Burghoff, Alvin Ailey Repertory Ensemble and the St. Petersburg Ballet Theatre of Russia. The Boykin Center is also home to the Arts Council Troupe for Youth. ACT! for Youth presents three performances every year, showcasing the area's youth talent. The Boykin Center has a new film projection system and offers a film series.
The Boykin Center houses the G. R. Hammond Gallery in the front of the theatre which is open during performances and at other times by appointment.
