CULTURE. The management of the Coaticook Arts and Culture Pavilion has confirmed that the vast majority of shows planned for March will have to be presented in other locations, since the work will not yet be completed.
We already know that Alexandre Poulin (March 1) will instead push the note to the public square of La Frontalière secondary school. Slightly more “intimate” events, such as those for the most beautiful film scores in trio (March 3), Scott-Pien Picard (March 7) and Sur les chemins d’Anne Sylvestre (March 8), will take place at the chapel of Collège Rivier. The same strategy will be deployed for the other shows in March.
“We had really prepared in advance since we knew that there was a possibility of delay in the work,” indicates the general director of the Pavillon des arts et de la culture de Coaticook, Daphnée Lebrun. We had an extraordinary collaboration with cultural organizations and other places. It was exceptional working with them. We can therefore present our entire programming and not postpone anything. We’re crossing our fingers to be able to welcome people to the Pavilion at the end of March or the beginning of April. »
People who have purchased tickets for the affected performances will of course be informed by email or telephone message. A poster will also be installed at the Pavilion on the evening of the show in question, to direct people to the designated location.
Speaking of the work on the old church which now houses a performance hall, they are going well, according to Ms. Lebrun. “We have completed the reconstruction and demolition work,” she said. We can therefore no longer encounter surprises that would delay us. All that remains is the finishing, the installation of heating and the laying of floors, which should arrive on February 5. »
When it opens, ticket holders will be able to enter the room from the sides, much like the side of the Centennial Theater at Bishop’s University. A new mezzanine has also been created to accommodate the control room, which will add seating to the layout of the place.
Ticket sales are also going well. “We are impressed. There are already sold-out shows. Several of our concert cafés, which usually have lower attendance, are finding takers. We can therefore say that people were bored,” concludes the general director of the Coaticook Arts and Culture Pavilion.
