The Blue Bridge Theatre Society has put The Roxy Theatre, its home venue, up for sale.

BԪַThe Salvation ArmyBԪַs listing of its neighbouring property (the Stan Hagen Centre) for sale offers BBTS a unique opportunity to not only maximize its investment in the property but to potentially partner with new ownership in the development of a new arts facility for the Quadra Village area,BԪַ explained society board president Evan Roberts in a press release.

The society is committed to completing its current 2021-22 season at its current venue and is exploring options for a future performance space, including staying at the Roxy under new ownership, said general manager Rebekah Johnson.

BԪַOur 13-year-old society is eager to hear from all segments of the community on this exciting new development and encourage interested parties to share their thoughts by writing to us with their thoughts to BԪַthefuture@bluebridgetheatre.ca,BԪַ she said.
