Regina | Globe Theatre Rehabilitation | Under Construction
The Globe Theatre at MacCorquodale Place - Theatre
Location: Regina Downtown Architect(s): P3Architecture Contractor: Ledcor Partners: Globe Theatre, City Of Regina, Government Of Saskatchewan, Government of Canada Cost: $40 million Status: Under Construction Construction Start: 2020 Construction End: 2023 Grand Opening: 2024 https://leaderpost.com/news/local-ne...-globe-theatre - March 18th, 2019 Globe Theatre is located inside the Prince Edward Building, constructed around 1907. It was a post office for the first half of its life and later served as Regina’s city hall before it was rented in 1980 by Saskatchewan’s first professional theatre company. Globe purchased the building in 2013, at which point it was well known that the existing facility had reached the end of its useful life. Since it’s designated as a municipal heritage building, any form of renovation must be handled with care — especially when it comes to the iconic clock tower. Globe Theatre hopes to move back into the facility in late 2023. The first season in the renovated building would launch early in 2024. https://i.ibb.co/ftG03wD/483-CCC3-D-...6626292-A1.jpg https://i.ibb.co/Vv91G5f/68-D497-F9-...5-C28-C1-D.jpg https://i.ibb.co/whCJdn1/1-E46-C127-...09158-AB77.jpg https://i.ibb.co/7kJ1GyB/60-BD2-DF4-...ABB2198299.jpg https://i.ibb.co/5YdcfPj/ACA758-CF-4...D4499-C3-C.jpg https://i.ibb.co/Qc8ZSpg/95-EB19-F6-...FB30-C3830.jpg https://i.ibb.co/YjqZwBF/DDFF6-BBD-B...051-D2-B22.jpg https://i.ibb.co/wLfGqjX/09-C9-D11-C...36625-F428.jpg https://i.ibb.co/7CKBKQD/BC287-FCB-1...ECEF5-B338.jpg |
MacCorquodale family donates $3 million to Globe Theatre renovation
With the $3 million donation by Andrew and Chantel MacCorquodale, the venue will now be known as “The Globe Theatre at MacCorquodale Place”. https://leaderpost.com/news/local-ne...tre-renovation Globe Theatre is building a brighter future for Regina's arts community "We’ll have a professionally outfitted theatre the likes of which the city of Regina has never seen before.” https://leaderpost.com/entertainment...arts-community |
Thanks for creating a thread for The Globe Theatre at MacCorquodale Place. I was curious how they were going to improve the seating (especially in the corners with poor sightlines). I look forward to seeing the restored exterior. It's an attractive building that just needed a lot of TLC!

Will there be an increase in seating at all? Or is this more of a general makeover, with added stage tech?

The following is from a Leader-Post story by from 2019. (I have included the link below, if you are interested). "The roof will be taken off in order to expand the seating in the mainstage area by 100 seats and everything will be made accessible, a 180-degree switch from the theatre’s current state." https://leaderpost.com/news/local-ne...-globe-theatre |

Wild that it’s taking 4 years to complete, but I guess that comes with the territory.

awww what on earth threatening people not cool guys........... i work allot and didnt catch that till i came back to see replys damn burn out sucks

I am wondering with the announcement of 11th Avenue getting an overhaul (which will affect the north side of the Globe more so) that hopefully/maybe the city has a Scarth Street mall overhaul in the planning as well. It continues to be my hope. I wonder how much of the front entrance area of the Globe onto Scarth will be done.

Regina’s Globe Theatre announces 2022 season as renovation work continues
https://i.ibb.co/XVKnMD0/59750-DC4-5...79-A027-C8.jpg The $29-million project was given a big addition Tuesday with the revelation that Gordon Rawlinson is the $1-million Main Stage donor for the new building, which will be known as The Globe at MacCorquodale Place. “Giving back to the communities Rawlco serves has been a hallmark philosophy of the Rawlinson family for the past 75 years,” said Tom Newton, vice-president and general manager of Rawlco Radio Regina, who was on hand for the cheque presentation. “This philosophy continues today with this amazing partnership with Globe Theatre. We believe that the arts are vitally important to creating a vibrant downtown and we are pleased to be part of this new era. “We are looking forward to the completion of The Globe at MacCorquodale Place and opening night on the brand-new Rawlinson Main Stage.” Gordon Rawlinson is the owner of Rawlco Radio. https://www.cjme.com/2021/11/09/regi...ork-continues/ |

The intersection right outside of the Globe Theatre across from the Cornwall Centre needs attention. New sidewalks and curbs, more trees, new benches, maybe a new bus shelter with brighter lighting under the bridge. Better lighting in general. I also would love the city to put electrical outlets for each tree cell along 11th Avenue so that they can string lights on each tree or portions of to create something like this… https://i.ibb.co/JBrzDtn/A-sidewalk-...mas-lights.jpg |

Electrifying the tree wells on 11th is a great idea. |
Very happy to see this coming along and that they already have some shows lined up. My girlfriend and I were checking out a lot of live theatre in the year leading up to the pandemic and we’re eager to get back to it.

Damn, looking pretty swanky and nothing at all like it's previous iteration. Will be nice to not have to walk all the way to the back of the building and past the green room to get to the washroom :haha:

^This is amazing stuff.
|
I've been watching the progress from my office that overlooks it and its amazing how intense this project is. But it also seems to be going painfully slow (which I'm sure is the norm nowadays).
