THE ROYAL MANITOBA THEATRE CENTRE In 1970, this structure was built to house the Manitoba Theatre Centre, a group founded in 1958 that has made a significant and lasting contribution to the development of regional theatre. Inside, the innovative use of space and light in the foyer, auditorium, and backstage areas creates an intimate atmosphere and supports artistic and technical collaboration, promoting a strong relationship between actors, staff, and audience. With its exposed structure and asymmetrical design, massive and sculptural forms, and textured concrete walls, the building is an exceptionally fine example of small-scale Brutalist architecture in Canada.

LE ROYAL MANITOBA THEATRE CENTRE Cet édifice a été construit en 1970 pour loger le Manitoba Theatre Centre, une troupe fondée en 1958 qui a contribué de façon notable et durable à l’essor du théâtre régional. Sa conception novatrice de l’espace et de l’éclairage dans le foyer, de l’auditorium et de ses coulisses crée une ambiance intimiste et favorise la collaboration artistique et technique, nouant une forte relation entre les acteurs, le personnel et le public. Sa structure apparente, son design asymétrique, ses formes massives et sculpturales, et ses murs de béton texturé en font un exemple exceptionnel de l’architecture brutaliste de petite échelle au pays.
