New Westminster: Reaction to Massey plan mostly positive
Ed Harrington, who has spent thousands of hours directing musicals in the Massey Theatre, believes the best days of the facility are long past and it’s time to move on.
“Sometimes it’s hard to say goodbye but we need to,” said Harrington, who served 16 years as the artistic director of the Royal City Musical Theatre, a group that has called the Massey home for 21 years.
“The character of the Massey comes from its age but that’s one of the things we have to sacrifice,” he said.
Harrington supports replacing the 1,260-seat aging theatre with a newer 1,000-seat state-of-the-art venue as the City of the New Westminster and school district proposed last week.
