Inside The Theatre

This brand new, state-of-the-art venue comfortably seats 294 and is incredibly versatile.

It’s the perfect setting for a wide range of events, from concerts, theatre productions, conferences, meetings, staff gatherings, school functions and so much more. Equipped with the latest technology, a huge stage and high-end retractable seating, the Scott MacAulay Performing Arts Centre ensures a seamless and impressive experience for any occasion. But there’s more than meets the eye! Beyond the main theatre, you’ll discover spacious backstage areas with dressing rooms and a dedicated studio, ideal for rehearsals, warm-ups, and even recording sessions.

Backstage: Multipurpose Dance Studio / Dressing Rooms

Imagine a space where creativity takes center stage.

The Scott MacAulay Performing Arts Centre offers just that.

With a dedicated dance studio designed to inspire movement and expression. This studio is more than just a rehearsal space; it’s a haven for dancers and yogis alike. Outfitted with wooden sprung floors to cushion every leap and land, full mirrors to perfect each pose, and barres for graceful stretches, it’s the ideal environment for classes, workshops, or personal practice. It doubles as a pre-show warm-up location for performers and, in a pinch, holds a LOT of equipment and cases when necessary.

Our spacious dressing rooms provide a private and well-equipped zone, giving you peace of mind and preparation time to centre yourself for the big event.

Recording Studio Suite

Our three soundproof studio rooms and the recording studio are designed to accommodate a variety of needs.

Whether you’re recording an album, podcast, or preparing for a performance on the main theatre stage,  these rooms can be easily adapted. They can also serve as smaller break out spaces for meetings or green rooms for larger groups using the Scott MacAulay Performing Arts Centre, making your experience with us as convenient as possible.
