Canada’s only permanent theatre-in-the-round was hollowed out like a pumpkin nearly four years ago.
Work crews removed thousands of kilograms of concrete. They added reinforcements and new features.
More than $40 million later, the Globe Theater in Regina, Saskatchewan’s largest professional theater company, is almost ready to reopen.
“It’s been a labor of love for many people but a massive undertaking,” executive director Jaime Boldt says while providing a tour of the construction site.
Flooring, tiles and fixtures have not yet been added, but patrons can already get a sense of the new space before its scheduled reopening in November.
