The Temple Theatre was built in Sanford, North Carolina in 1925 by Mr. Robert Ingram, Sr. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s, the theater was a touring house for road shows. During the 1960s, the theater was used by the Sanford Little Theater and The Footlight Players for community productions. In 1981, the theatre was donated to Lee County, North Carolina and designated a National Historic Site in 1983. The site was renovated and reopened in 1984.

Currently, the Temple Theatre Company produces eight MainStage productions each year. The company also features a Youth Theatre School, an Apprentice Company, and Summer Youth Conservatory.
