Wheelhouse Theatre

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wheelhouse Theatre is a 290-seat proscenium theatre located at Earl Marriott Secondary School, 15751-16th Avenue, Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. It is the largest performing arts theatre within the Semiahmoo Peninsula.

The Wheelhouse's primary usage is as a classroom and training facility for students wishing to pursue theatre, and its secondary usage is as a well-equipped and affordable rental house to the community. It is managed by the school and its Theatre Department Head (at the time of writing, August 2006, Rick Harmon), as well as by the Wheelhouse Theatre Society, a collaboration of community volunteers mandated to raise funds for, and contribute necessary equipment purchases to the theatre.
