It's a shame that the Centre is having issues, it is an amazing space where I have preformed several times and seen many many shows. The reality is that it is expensive to run a show at the Centre, there is ticketing fees, venue rental, and your always need IATSE union members to use the space. The problem for theatre organizations is there is the Centre and the Registry Theatre, there is no mid sized theatre venue in KW that is open to the community. The Conrad is taken up by the symphony and nearly impossible to get into, humanities theatre is reserved for UW, any of the high schools could bump a theatre group with less then 2 weeks notice and Drayton is doing it's own thing.
