Centre in the Square

[panamaniac]

I wonder if the rumour of THEMUSEUM buying an adjacent building with auditorium space refers to the Conrad Centre and not the building facing Queen after all. I've thought they should buy it since Theatre & Company folded.

If space inside CITS is being reorganized, could moving the KW Art Gallery be helpful? I find it gets lost within the performing arts portion of the complex; maybe moving would raise its profile and allow for greater flexibility.

No, the thinking at THEMUSEUM is to expand to the rest of the former Goudies (i.e. the former Bramante building facing Queen St). That new space would have a theatre/auditorium in it, I believe. Whether there is any private money to enable such a major expansion is an open question.

I sometimes wonder whether the KWAG couldn't be a candidate to occupy the former Provincial Courthouse, but again that would be hugely expensive. I think the long range plans for the civic district contemplate an expansion of the KWAG building out toward Queen Street.
