History of Key City Theatre A dream started in the mid-1970's... a dream to create a fine arts facility we could truly call our own. In 1978 a referendum was defeated that would have financed the construction. At the time it seemed nearly impossible to create the dream. A fantasy dies when it encounters major obstacles, but not a dream, not this dream. There were too many people who shared this dream and in 1984 thoughts again turned to a fine arts facility and how we could create this dream debt-free, without placing a burden on the tax payers of Cranbrook. Due to the commitment, talents and dedication of so many of our citizens, the City of Cranbrook, School District No. 2, and the support of the Provincial Government through the Expo Legacy Fund, we were able to build this theatre, debt free. This facility stands today as a monument to the Provincial Government’s commitment that all regions of our Province would benefit from British Columbia’s 1986 Exposition. The people of Cranbrook and region also opened their hearts and wallets to provide the enthusiasm and necessary capital. The Key City Theatre is a shining example of how the people of Cranbrook can create anything they truly want. Rick Jensen |

A message from the Managing Director Key City Theatre provides a first-class performing arts, conference and gathering center for residents of the East Kootenay, drawing audiences from across the region and the province. In our 2004-05 season alone, we presented eight Juno Award-winning artists! The Key City Theatre hosts over 40,000 patrons yearly, in 2004/05 we hosted public functions for 160 days, we opened the door for over 60 school production days, six visual art presentations with live music, and numerous other community functions, dance presentations and music recitals. We endeavour to provide the community more than a sense of culture and entertainment, but a centre for growth, new perspectives, community identity and a balanced environment for all our citizens.
