Victoria: Facelift funding for Intrepid
Thanks to grants from federal and provincial arts funding bodies, Intrepid Theatre will be doing some much-needed renovations and upgrades to its performance spaces.
With $25,000 from the Department of Canadian Heritage and $20,000 from the B.C. Arts Council, the Victoria company will increase capacity at the Metro Studio from 130 to 200 and make the venue wheelchair friendly.
As well, it plans to purchase a collapsible riser system for the Intrepid Theatre Club to increase that venue’s flexibility, and improve its washroom facilities.
The company will also endeavour to raise $20,000 to be able to purchase a new sound board, plus upgrade the entrance and signage at the Metro.
The facilities not only host Victoria Fringe Theatre Festival and Uno Fest performances, they are rented out to arts groups in the community.
