Description
For several years, the town of Truro lacked an arts and cultural centre to host various live performances and arts education programs. When the former Centennial Theatre, located in the heart of Truro, became available a plan to purchase and develop the facility into that long-awaited venue was created. That plan resulted in the money for both the purchase and the renovation of the facility being raised through a Community Economic Development Investment Funds cooperative venture. The Marigold houses a 208 soft seat theatre, the MacLellan & Moffatt Financial Gallery (MMFI) Art Gallery, the Colchester County Sports Hall of Fame, a workshop space for arts education programs for all age groups, a boardroom, concession area, and offices. With the strong support of the community and various organizations, the Marigold provides musical, theatrical, live comedy, and dance performances for the community and surrounding areas.
