The centrepiece will be a 250-seat venue in addition to a secondary performance space, creative, rehearsal, training and administrative spaces.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/saintjohntheatrecompany.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Saint John Theatre Company<\/a> has designed the space to be a home theatre for the Atlantic Repertory Company. The transformed courthouse will house a range of cultural events, while bringing much needed opportunities for professional theatre artists to advance their careers, and training opportunities for theatre artists at all levels, the release adds.<\/p>\n<p>Financing for a more modest project was announced\u00a0in 2019\u00a0by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.canada.ca\/en\/canadian-heritage.html\"
