Celebration planning has begun

The front of what is now called the Acadia Cinema building was built in 1907. A wooden structure –  the Wolfville Opera House - was added at the back on the site of what is now the Al Whittle Theatre. It opened its doors in 1911. The Acadia Cinema Coop has initiated a year of celebration called 100 Years of Stage & Screen for 2011, to recognize the contribution of the Al Whittle Theatre site to the cultural history and life of the community. The Coop is also working with the Wolfville Historical Society. Check Volunteers for the Coop’s proposal and news from the first committee meeting.
