Genevieve E. Yates Memorial Centre, Performance venue in downtown Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada
Genevieve E. Yates Memorial Centre is a performance venue in downtown Lethbridge with two distinct theatre spaces for different types of shows. The main hall seats around 470 people while the smaller space accommodates about 180.
Construction began in 1965 and the venue opened in 1966, made possible by a major donation from a prominent local businessman. The facility was named as a tribute to someone important to the city's community.
The centre has served as a home base for a resident theatre company that produces shows here throughout the year. An attached art gallery displays works by local and regional artists.
The venue is easy to reach with free street parking available after 6 PM and restaurants within walking distance. Visitors planning to attend a show should arrive early if parking is a concern.
The smaller theatre space is named after a Canadian honor recipient whose family was connected to a celebrated composer. This unusual naming choice links the venue to an international musical legacy.
