Theatre on the Run - from the archives! 🎭

For those new to Theatre on the Run, this annual production offers a theatre experience unlike any other. Audience members travel in small groups to multiple performance locations as the mystery unfolds one scene at a time. It is immersive, entertaining, and one of the Matthews’ most beloved traditions.

Auditions are tonight and tomorrow at 6:30 at The Matthews! Whether you have been on stage for years or have always wanted to give theatre a try, we invite you to join us as we celebrate 15 years of Theatre on the Run and honor Charlotte Dougherty by bringing her final mystery to life.

A Tuesday night in downtown Spearfish. Sound on. 🤯

What a way to close out the final night of RCA Classics at The Matthews with Rushmore Music Festival! This is what The Matthews’ staff got to see and hear while preparing the reception at the end of the night.

Thank you to the incredible musicians, audience, sponsors, and everyone who made this season in Spearfish so special. We can’t wait to do it all again.

See you next year!

Help us build a one-day community art exhibit during the Spearfish Watershed Festival!

Between now and the festival on August 1st, head down to Spearfish Creek and create something inspired by what you see.

Bring your finished artwork to the Matthews booth during the festival, and we'll display it in our community pop-up gallery!

No judging. No selling. Just celebrating the beauty of nature through art.
