Since opening in 2009, the Centre has become a regional landmark for major performances and events. Students will step inside our impressive 512‑seat theatre and discover the flexible event spaces that host conferences, concerts, and community activities. A tour offers an inspiring, hands‑on learning opportunity that sparks creativity and connects students with the world of performing arts.
