Temple Theatre is the cornerstone of Historic downtown Sanford and Lee County's #1 tourist attraction! We cultivate relationships with our local businesses and not only affect the quality of life for Sanford residents but also greatly affect the surrounding restaurants and shops bottoms line. The Temple Theatre is a community meeting place and a destination for tourists and retirees. We attract our audience from 12 NC counties and serve over 5500 area youth through our various youth programs.
