A two-century-old courthouse in Saint John, N.B., will be transformed into a professional theatre space, thanks to $19-million in funding.
A two-century-old courthouse in Saint John , N.B., bought by the Saint John Theatre Company in 2020 for $1 will become home to the Atlantic Repertory Company . The company has raised $19-million in funding, including $12-million from Ottawa, to transform the building into a professional theatre space. Stephen Tobias, who has spent his career developing Saint John 's theatre scene, announced the federal funding in late October.
The total funding raised for the facility is $19-million, including other governmental support and private philanthropy. The next step is a capital campaign to raise between $10-million and $12.5-million to complete the refurbishment. Tobias hopes the project will be finished in time for the 2027-28 season. The Atlantic Repertory Company (ARC), the professional wing of the Saint John Theatre Company, will occupy the building. The centrepiece will be a 200- to 270-capacity theatre in the former second-floor courtroom. This will give the city greater flexibility in the shows it can host. Tobias hopes the courthouse will bring more theatre to Saint John and more artistic opportunities. He stated that even 10 years ago, it was not really possible to live in New Brunswick and be a working actor in the anglophone sector, a problem unique to this province
