Vancouver: Stanley Park’s Malkin Bowl getting weatherproofed
A plan is moving ahead to weatherproof a historic outdoor theatre in Stanley Park and give the venue new life as a rehearsal space during the colder months.
Theatre Under the Stars managing producer James Cronk told the Straight the goal is to “winterize” Malkin Bowl so that the stage area can be used year-round.
At present, the venue is mainly used to hold summer concerts and TUTS’s annual musical-theatre performances.
Preliminary plans call for improvements to insulation and heating, and the addition of an exterior door to seal the stage.
The project has a roughly $900,000 budget, with Vancouver park board funds and a federal government infrastructure grant accounting for two-thirds of the money.
