The Honourable Steve Crocker, Minister of Tourism, Culture, Arts and Recreation, is extending the deadline for the recently launched public consultations on the establishment of a new theatre in St. John’s. The consultation process has seen excellent engagement from members of the public, including stakeholders from the arts and cultural community.

Extending the deadline offers further opportunity for stakeholders to provide input on the theatre’s development. The information gathered from this consultation will inform decision-making processes such as potential location options, optimal capacity and artistic functionality of the new theatre.

The new deadline for submissions is Monday, September 4, 2023.

The Honourable Dr. Andrew Furey, Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, announced the intention to build a new theatre as part of the Year of the Arts launch in May.

The summer is a high season for our theatre performers and companies, as well as other artists and arts organizations, so this extension gives everyone ample opportunity to get their submissions in. We value the opinions of our stakeholders and are committed to considering what they have to say.”
