Canwest Centre for Theatre and Film

Leonarda

With the support of Canwest Global Communications Corp. ($3M), along with generous contributions from the federal and provincial governments, an expansion and renovation of the University's Theatre building at 400 Colony Street – the site of the old Salvation Army Citadel building – is now nearing completion.

The new Canwest Centre for Theatre and Film features state-of-the-art performance, production and teaching facilities for theatre and film students. It includes a renovated 120- to 150-seat theatre, and labs and studios dedicated to lighting, sound and recording, and film and media production. As well, the Centre houses specially-designed spaces for rehearsals, teaching, costume, make-up and prop development. The next challenge is to ensure the centre is fitted out with modern stage lighting, film and editing equipment.

“As a corporation with its head office in Winnipeg, we feel it is important to make a contribution to the further development of our city. The University of Winnipeg in particular, plays a vital role in the development of our downtown core.”

The new Centre will address the pressing national need for more graduates with high-level performance and production skills and enable the University to expand its theatre education and training capabilities.
