ENCORE!
We are embarking on a ground-breaking new project that will become an iconic landmark and community hub for the Capital Region and all along our river valleys.
Join us in strengthening our community through the Encore! campaign
The new Performing Arts Centre will be the heartbeat of our community: a hub that will serve and benefit future generations of artists, craftspeople, audiences, organizations and businesses.
Funds raised through the Encore! campaign will go toward:
Fredericton Playhouse Inc.’s commitment to the building project
AND
supporting and growing our “Friends of the Playhouse” community access programs that make performing arts available to ALL
Every donation makes our vision of a community strengthened by live performance a reality! Supporting the Encore! campaign will help us double the number of people we can serve in the new venue through our community access programs that remove barriers to attending live performances.
Here’s a peek at what you’re supporting in the new Performing Arts Centre…
Together we can create magic.
-
School Field Trips
Our School Field Trip program includes a matinée performance and backstage Playhouse tours designed to expose students to the magic of live, professional performing arts. The series offers 4-7 performances per year for students from kindergarten to Grade 12, including bus subsidies to help schools with the cost of transportation.
-
Arts are for Everyone
Our Arts are for Everyone program offers complimentary tickets to performances so that everyone has the ability to access and experience the magical world of the performing arts. Over 800 tickets/year are distributed through many local community organizations, such as the Multicultural Association, Big Brothers Big Sisters and more.
-
InterMISSON Artist Residency
The InterMISSION Artist Residency Program, which allows professional artists the chance to work and hone their craft in our theatre space and with theatre professionals for free, helps them grow and thrive in a way they would not otherwise be able to. It helps local talent to fast-track their career and gives them a stage in their own backyard.

“I believe Fredericton’s new Performing Arts Centre has enormous potential for good. I love the way it has been designed as it speaks to the importance of developing artists. It's not just one big venue for those shows that can sell hundreds of tickets, but it also features a smaller, very adaptable second theatre space, a performance-ready lobby space and a small studio as well! It's awesome. The Performing Arts Centre must be more than a performance space, it needs to be a place where artists are nurtured and celebrated at all levels -- especially our local artists. This nurturing and celebrating of our own is what will make the biggest impact on our community and what excites me most.”
— David Myles, songwriter and musician
