As our team says backstage, In with the old, and Out with the new! The Royal Theatre has a new cyclorama and scrim. These very large and very delicate draperies are handled with the greatest of care to avoid damage, but over time the fabric discolours and weakens from the energy absorbed from intense stage lights. On average, we’ve been replacing them every 6-10 years! #TechTuesday #MyLocalVenue #RoyalTheatre

Happy Valentine's Day!

Our head of audio discovered that one of our stage monitor speakers at the McPherson was performing totally out of tune how embarrassing for it! Guess this is what happens when you have a smokin’ hot sound system, sometimes it needs repairs #TechTuesday

"To me, the McPherson Playhouse feels like home. From recitals as a young dancer to performing my first lead role in a large-scale production, from learning how to strike lights and deconstruct sets on load out days to sitting in the audience on opening night after choreographing my first mega musical. The McPherson has been there for every step of my artistic journey. I feel like I grew up on this stage, and I can genuinely say my life would be drastically different without the incredible opportunities this theatre and all of its staff have provided me over the years. -Alison Roberts, Performer #MyLocalVenue
