Theatre Network wins federal grant for new Roxy Theatre on 124 Street
Edmonton’s Theatre Network is moving closer to raising the curtain on a new performance space on 124 Street, thanks to a grant from the federal government.
The $330,270 grant, which was announced Monday morning by Edmonton Centre MP Randy Boissonnault, comes from the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund. It will support the architectural design and engineering phase of construction for a new theatre on the old Roxy Theatre site in Westmount.
The original 200-seat Roxy Theatre, which opened in 1938, was destroyed by fire three years ago. Since then, Theatre Network has been operating out of borrowed space in Old Strathcona.
