OUR WORK
2003 - The Regent Theatre Renewal Project is a 750 seat $6.5 Million
Community Performance Centre. The Regent will be constructed to meet a
variety of needs from headline performers to children’s shows.
Current architectural drawings are based on two feasibility studies,
two separate acoustic consultations, and of course, historical
reference, which will ensure that the Regent’s origins are renewed. |
