Today, Viviane Lapointe, Member of Parliament (Sudbury), announced $150,620 in funding for the YES Theatre in Sudbury. She made this announcement on behalf of the Honourable Pascale St-Onge, Minister of Canadian Heritage. The investment supported the Theatre's 2023 summer festival and will be used to purchase a new lighting console and counterweight fly system that will enhance the quality of productions staged at the theatre.
The funding is provided through the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund and the Building Communities through Arts and Heritage program. This support will enable YES Theatre to fulfill its mission of entertaining, educating and engaging their audience through the creation and presentation of top-quality local, national and international professional theatrical events.
