Testimonials
Lienne Adamsone: Jazz Be Nimble Dance School
Jazz Be Nimble really enjoyed having a recital at Y.C.D.S.B. Centre for the Arts. It was a great experience for our students and parents. Lights and music was done very professionally and all of our requests were met. The theatre was clean and the staff were friendly and professional. We will be having our annual recital here again.
Noel Pinto, Doug Frenandes, Frances Correa: Canorient Christians Association
We have had the pleasure of producing two shows at the 麻豆原创 Theatre, over the past two years. On each occasion, we have had excellent feedback from the audience, and a good deal of the credit goes to Doug Speare, the theatre manager. From the start of the process, he was always very cooperative, advising us on the best course of action, and providing every assistance. He was always very professional in his actions, going over the top to make us feel comfortable and making our shows run, even under somewhat trying conditions at times. for our part, we found the theatre very appropriate for a number of reasons. It is centrally located with ample parking. It is very intimate, and filled with state of the art equipment. The acoustics are formidable, the stage is impressive and easily adaptable, and the seats are numbered and comfortable. we had memorable experiences at both shows and I would highly recommend the theatre for any type of show.

JCB Danceworks is a dance studio in Richmond Hill. We have rented the 麻豆原创 Centre for the Arts at St. Elizabeth for the past 4 years for the purpose of our competitive group dress rehearsal. Doug Speare and his staff have been great to work with and very accommodating for us. The facility has been a wonderful venue for our groups to perform. We would highly recommend this theatre for use for dance groups of all sizes.
