The Other Guise Theatre Society is hoping the City of Victoria will provide a $250,000 grant to help establish the performing arts hub in downtown Victoria.
The Other Guise Theatre Society is a step closer this week to realizing its dream of establishing an arts hub on Johnson Street.
The theatre company has been raising money to repay a $1.8-million loan it was given in 2022 when it bought the former Tomley Market building. Kate Kempton, who provided the forgivable loan to purchase the building, is now ill and has been forced to recall the loan. The Thrive Impact Fund invests in and supports non-profit, co-operative and for-profit social enterprises that generate social, environmental or cultural benefits.
Payne said if the city approves the $250,000 award, the theatre will only have to raise about $600,000, now that Thrive has come aboard.
