Rainbow Stage, Open-air theatre in Kildonan Park, Winnipeg, Canada.
Rainbow Stage is an open-air theatre in Kildonan Park that holds about 2600 people in a natural wooded setting. The venue is shaped like a large amphitheatre, blending into the surrounding parkland while allowing audiences to sit close to the stage.
The theatre arose in the 1950s as a response to flood damage in the park and opened in 1953. Its creation marked the beginning of a long tradition of summer musical performances in Winnipeg.
The stage hosts professional musical productions that draw crowds from across the province, giving people a reason to spend summer evenings outdoors watching theatre together in a shared community space.
The venue sits in Kildonan Park along Main Street and provides wheelchair access for visitors. It is easy to walk to from parking areas, making arrival straightforward for most people.
The 1970 steel dome over the seating area was designed by architect Jack Ross and built by the Dominion Bridge Company, spanning more than 48 metres and rising over 12 metres, with 12 latticed girder columns around its edge. Its design drew on the geodesic dome of the United States Pavilion at Expo 67.
