Western Canada Theatre (WCT) is planning to open the Pavillion Theatre this fall with small audiences and local creations.

Right now the WCT is asking for proposals from local artists for performances that would be appropriate for the small theatre at the end of Lorne Street.

"We will welcome smaller audiences back to the Pavilion Theatre in cabaret-style seating, with tables and chairs," states the organization in a press release. "We look forward to working with small groups of local artists that will highlight the wealth of talent in our community."

While performances will have to take into account social distancing and the pandemic, WCT is encouraging creativity.

"It will be a season of surprises, innovation, and intimacy – intimacy of performance and ideas, while maintaining physical distancing," states the release.

A modified stage at the Sagebrush Theatre is also being planned. How the 2020/21 season will look is still uncertain.
