Comments: The theatre is owned by the people of the Northern Rockies Regional Municipality and operated by the not for profit Phoenix Theatre Management Society. We employ one GM, a Gallery and Box Office Manager, a Building Manager, eight hight school students as well as several volunteers. The theatre was once part of the Polar Hotel which failed in the 80’s and was purchased by the town. The theatre opened in 1992 and remains as the northern rockies best and only performing arts and entertainment venue.
