Genevieve E. Yates Memorial Centre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Genevieve E. Yates Memorial Centre houses two performance theatres in downtown Lethbridge, Alberta. The centre was built starting 15 August 1965 and officially opened 1 May 1966. Deane Yates, a local retail donated over $200,000 towards its existence and asked the centre be named Genevieve E. Yates Memorial.
Its two theatres are the 500-seat proscenium Yates Theatre and the 180-seat black box Sterndale Bennet Theatre. In addition, an art gallery exists in the upper mezzanine area and is operated by the Allied Arts Council of Lethbridge.
