Neighbours! Those people, shops, and familiar spots that make our home base all the more comfortable.
The Roxy has been away from its home, neighbourhood base for close to five years – but we will be returning in the Spring of 2021.
One of the families who are relatively new to the Westmount neighbourhood has preceded our official return with a neighbourly welcome in their significant support for our capital campaign.
In addition to being donors, Colleen and Kyle Murray also hosted a gathering of fellow neighbours at their home (2018) to provide a forum for the Roxy staff to let the neighbours know about our plans to return to our true home base.
The Murrays are supporters of the arts and have supported our campaign because, in their words, “ the Roxy is important to our neighbourhood and we want to see it back in the Westmount community.”
The Murray’s appreciate the more intimate space that a smaller venue offers, and welcome the fact that the New Roxy will have two theatre spaces as well as a Rehearsal Hall for arts groups.
It is people like the Murray’s that will make our return to our home all the more significant – we appreciate their warm support for our theatre company.
