The Local Seeker would like to extend congratulations to Aultsville Theatre which is receiving a $64,000 grant from the Federal Government to fund new lights and sound. Federal MP Guy Lauzon made the announcement at Aultsville Theatre yesterday.

According to their Facebook page: Aultsville Theatre is thrilled to share that Stormont, Dundas and South Glengarry MP Guy Lauzon has announced, via the Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund, a $64350.00 funding contribution to Phase 2 of Aultsville Theatre’s Sound & Lighting upgrade. (Phase 1 was completed in 2009 and included installation of state of the art lighting board and supporting technology)

Phase 2 funding will focus on various stage lighting elements and sound system upgrades resulting in a greener, more versatile, and more modern technical infrastructure. The implementation of these upgrades will reinforce Aultsville’s ability to serve our community’s needs, while at the same time making us more desirable to professional touring acts and theatre groups of all stripes.

Since 1976, Aultsville Theatre has hosted world class performances in its spacious, 658-seat theatre. Audiences and performers alike enjoy excellent acoustics, with no seat more than 90 feet from center stage!

Aultsville Theatre is a community theatre with professional capacity. For more info on upcoming events at the Theatre:
