The Kelowna Community Theatre
The Kelowna Community Theatre is Kelowna’s professional presenting house and the Interior’s largest performing arts venue. Each year the Theatre is home to over 250 events ranging from comedy to music, dance, theatrical performances and everything in between.
Since opening its doors on September 13, 1962, the Theatre has grown from a small community theatre to a vibrant performance hub in the heart of the Cultural District. For 50 years, people have been entertained and inspired by their peers, first class presenters and performers from around the world.
With exceptional local, national and international artists scheduled to perform this year, everyone is sure to be entertained.
Several special events to celebrate the Theatre’s 50th anniversary will make the Kelowna Community Theatre the place to be as it turns 50 in 2012.
