Boissevain Community Theatre is a community-owned, non-profit movie theatre and performing arts facility in Boissevain, Manitoba. It is managed by the Boissevain & Morton Theatre Committee: a volunteer board jointly established by the Town of Boissevain and the RM of Morton.
Due to structural deterioration our building (originally built in the 1950s) was closed in May 2009. Most of the older structure was demolished in 2010, and construction of a replacement building began in late Fall 2011.
Our building project is supported by over $100,000 in donations from individuals, businesses and organizations, a Manitoba Community Places Program grant and major contributions from the municipal councils of Boissevain and Morton.
Fundraising is not yet complete (see the funding meter on the sidebar of this page), but construction is ongoing and we anticipate reopening the theatre later in Spring 2012.
On top of our building project, we are also raising funds to purchase a digital projection system. This upgrade will ensure we can continue showing movies now that the motion picture industry is changing to digital distribution. (The digital projector fund has a seperate funding meter on the sidebar.)
