Friday, February 15, 2019 – Kamloops, BC – School District 73, the City of Kamloops and Western Canada Theatre regretfully announce the immediate, temporary closure of the Sagebrush Theatre for urgently-needed building repairs.
During a routine technical setup, a serious structural issue was discovered in the roof of the audience chamber that requires immediate attention. At the present time, the facility may not be occupied. Engineers are investigating and we do not yet have a timeline for the resolution of this situation.
Western Canada Theatre, as manager of the facility, will be in contact with event promoters & local clients, to make appropriate arrangements for their events.
Ticket holders to events at the Sagebrush Theatre will be contacted by the Kamloops Live! Box Office (KL!BO) in the coming days regarding alternate arrangements once they are known. At this time we would ask that ticket-holders refrain from contacting the box office until after the KL!BO sends direct communication regarding events in question.
