1858
The present Brockville Arts Centre on King Street West is built to serve as a town hall, market place and fire engine house. (Two of the original date stones still exist placed on the outside wall).
The rising popularity of television forces the closure of The Regent.
(Today, the Brockville Arts Centre still offers movie screenings thanks to our new digital projector.)
The rear of the building is expanded for rehearsal space, set construction, prop and wardrobe storage. This space is rented to the Brockville Operatic Society and Brockville Theatre Guild for both for storage of their props and sets, and for their rehearsals and workshops.
Project ENCORE! – a community-driven undertaking with the goal of restoring and redecorating the theatre.
2016
A new digital film projector is donated by the estate of Pat Webster to the Brockville Arts Centre to replace the obsolete reel-to-reel film projectors.
2020
The Brockville Arts Centre is closed in March 2020 during the COVID pandemic.
2021
After a year-and-a-half shutdown, the Brockville Arts Centre is finally able to reopen their doors in August 2021 to the excitement of the local community.
