The home of the Mulgrave Road Theatre in Mulgrave is getting help from the federal
government in its plans for an expansion. On Friday, Cape Breton-Canso MP Mike Kelloway announced the federal government will commit $2.6 million towards the RoadHouse Creative Centre.
Once completed, the new RoadHouse Facility will house a 2,500 square foot creation and performance space with automatic retractable seating for 90 to 100 audience members. Another 5,500 square feet of space will house a multi-purpose lobby and meeting space, dressing rooms, storage, restrooms, workshop facilities, as well as a light and sound booth and interior and exterior community gathering spaces.
The facility, adapted from the former Nova Scotia Liquor Corporation building, earlier received $400,000 towards the expansion from the province.
