Amphitheatre

Idea:

Fredericton needs an amphitheatre with a large enough space to accommodate at least 100 audience members and a stage that could be used for outdoor concerts AND theatre. It should be owned by the city so that it will (hopefully) be affordable for all groups to use- unlike other private spaces such as the Playhouse. Why not add this unique space to Odell Park? Bard in the Barracks, Theatre New Brunswick, Spearhead Theatre, Symphony NB, Calithumpians, Branch Out Productions, and COUNTLESS others could use this playing space.

Staff Feedback:

We love this idea! Fredericton needs public performance spaces to support our vibrant performing arts community. Along with a Performing Arts Centre, the City is planning investments in Officers’ Square that will have to multiple performance spaces, from a larger performance stage that will accommodate the New Brunswick Symphony Orchestra and other large groups to a smaller stage area that will accommodate smaller groups and audiences.
