Local entertainment venues see people returning to the box office
PRINCE GEORGE—With multiple highly anticipated movies flopping at the box office, it seems hollywood is taking a hit. But is that really the case? Perhaps, but not at one small business theatre in our region – the Grand Reo Theatre in Vanderhoof.
“We have had our ups and downs, for sure, but the summertime is always the height of the season for people coming through,” explains Aiyana Wallace, an administrator at the Grand Reo Theatre. “I chose to open Garfield for the Memorial Day weekend versus Furiosa. Our community does better with kid orientated shows. There’s a lot of families in our area, so we kind of try to play off the audience a little bit.”
As for live entertainment, the CN Centre and the Prince George Symphony Orchestra are seeing more and more people at the box office.
