Regina’s Globe Theatre announces 2022 season as renovation work continues

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.

Literally no one is going to say any of this.

It continues to be my hope. I wonder how much of the front entrance area of the Globe onto Scarth will be done.

Is there a link for the details? The main thing 11th needs is more trees with proper wells and some watering for the first few years. Young trees need more than just deicer runoff.

They have demolished everything on the roof, other than the 2 copper domes.

Definitely think the work on Victoria Avenue (Albert Street to Broad Street) was worth it and 11th Avenue (Albert Street to Broad Street) will also be. 11th Avenue is an absolute eyesore (the sidewalks alone). But yes, the Regina construction season is never fun. Lol.

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…

Victoria looks great, but it took forever. Replacing the grass and pavers with woodchips will really help the median trees.

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.

That's a stupid joke, you should be quiet on the issue of homelessness.

so why did only 40 people go to the city /province paid for indoor shelter when there were 150 at tent city? Oh right, thought so.

I don't even get what you are trying to hint at.

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! Also, one of the main additions in the renovation will be an actual freight elevator separate from the public elevator. This will greatly improve delivery/installation of larger/heavier set pieces etc. to and from the upper floors and the main theatre.

Could be urinals this way, stalls that way sinks in the middle?

That’s not what a gender neutral washroom is. Most people with female genitals wouldn’t be able to use a urinal that well lol. It’s likely that there’s individual rooms as opposed to stalls with a toilet and sink like you’re seeing at a lot of restaurants. Or the sinks are outside the rooms in a common area like what the new Argyle/St Pius X school is going to have for higher grades.
