Kelloway was on-hand for a ground-breaking ceremony for the new centre earlier this month. It is to be completed in the summer of 2026. The facility will include the former NSLC outlet in Guysborough as well as the addition of a 2,200 square foot black box theatre with retractable seating for 75 people.
Kelloway says it’s a state of the art facility with flexible spaces
The upgrade is estimated to cost around $6.4 million, with funding come from all three levels of government. The theatre company also collected money for the project from donors and through fund-raising.
