The theater opened in 1912 and was owned by Sidney F. Heath and C. Anderson. Admission was 5 cents. Thoughout the years the theater went through many changes, including its name before Heath settled on The State Theater. When the building burned down in 1960, Heath asked the public to submit suggestions for a new name for the new building. August J Schultz and Rose Mershon won free passes for submitting the winning suggestion-The Flame Theatre.

The city took over managment of the theater in 1996 and formed a theater board. The city immediately put approximately $65,000 of impovements into the facility, including a new projector, seats with cup holders, a bigger screen, and a freash coat of paint. The Flame is one of several services unique to a rural community in Southern Minnesota. It has Digital Dolby sound system and 304 cushy seats. Offering $3 tickets to every showing is something the Theater Board prides itself on.
