Prince George’s Community Arts Council (CAC) is the new operator and manager of the Prince George Playhouse.
The CAC announced today (Monday) they’ve entered into a three-year agreement with the City of Prince George to be the manager of the venue.
The agreement took effect September 1st and will run until August 31st, 2027.
The CAC noted the City has undertaken several upgrades to the theatrical rigging systems in the building over the past year, remediating several outdated components of the stage area and equipment.
“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to start revitalizing our local civic theatre and to continue our work promoting and building a vibrant performing arts sector here in Prince George,” said CAC Executive Director Eli Klasner.
“We have heard from so many groups in the communtiy that we need this venue re-opened and promoted, and we are very grateful to the City of Prince George for the work that has been undertaken to repair and upgrade many elements of the stage venue.”
The CAC will continue to operate Studio 2880, and also played an important role in the creation of the Knox Performance Centre.
