"[3] Civic, as it is fondly called by the surrounding community, sets a high standard for theatre in the Spokane area.

This space was used for set construction, rehearsals, the costume shop, and offices for the continued upkeep of the theatre.

In 2013, the Main Stage Women's restroom was expanded and a new Donor Lounge & Meeting Room was added onto the building.

In addition, Civic used to be home to the Box and Hat Players, a performance troupe devoted to spreading a love of musical theatre to community members of all ages.

[3] Civic provides a variety of workshops in acting, directing, voice, dance, stage combat and technical theatre.

The grade school summer program uses a play-in-a-week format, rendering familiar stories like The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, the Legend of Zelda, Star Wars and The Chronicles of Narnia into simple and fun performances.

The program became more like a summer stock performance, where the students have 3–4 weeks of rehearsals in which to fully memorize their lines, choreography, and music.

In addition to volunteering their time, the Spokane community has given incredible amounts in the form of donations that support the theatre and its mission.

Civic provides over 600 Main Stage tickets to help various other community organizations and individuals with their auctions and fundraisers.

The program is free for Middle and High School students and teachers and is taught by Civic's Director of Education.

At the 2011 AACTFest,[8] Spokane Civic Theatre's production of The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee received two awards and three nominations.

Civic has also been recognized by the city of Spokane in 2007, when then Technical Director Peter Hardie was recognized for continued artistic excellence, and Resident Director Troy Nickerson for volunteering abundant talent and resources to help raise funds for many Spokane area non-profits.
