History [edit]
The building started out as a cinderblock garage. In 1982, Great Canadian Theatre Company converted it into a 230-seat theatre. In 2008, GCTC moved out into the Irving Greenberg Theatre Centre. At the end of the 2007 GCTC season, the building was purchased by Steve Martin and Marilisa Granzotto, owners of a nearby Arthur Murray Dance Studio, and renovated at an approximate cost of half a million CAD.[1] It has recently been placed up for sale.
Theatre [edit]
The theatre holds approximately 200 persons for live performance. The theatre was renovated for its re-opening on September 11, 2008 with Art Deco style decoration.[2]
Programming [edit]
The Gladstone Productions company produces dramatic and musical plays. The production company is local to Ottawa.
