FACILITIES

The fully renovated Al Whittle Theatre features 160 comfortable seats, each with a prime view of both stage and screen! In addition to a 16' by 30' projection screen, stylish black drapes, a sprung wooden stage floor, and nice gear for live sound production, the theatre also features a complete Dolby Digital 5.1 cinema sound system, and some very swinging, state-of-the-art acoustical wall panels. There's even a place (on every seat!) to put your favourite hot or cold beverage, which can be purchased from the Just Us Café, conveniently located in front of the theatre lobby.

"The Al Whittle Theatre is a gem - good sight lines, a generous stage floor, and a feeling of something special going on."
