A STRONG COMMUNITY SPIRIT

The Jeanne & Peter Lougheed Performing Arts Centre is a venue located on the beautiful, historic University of Alberta Augustana Campus in Camrose. The mission of this community theatre is to present and showcase a variety of artists in a world-class facility.

The overall design for the building required a great deal of attention, not only to what the community envisioned for the space, but also towards sustainability for the future. The Lougheed Centre is home to the largest integrated photovoltaic array (solar panels), which blanket the entire 70-foot fly-tower, including the north face, and is the first theatre in North America to use entirely LED lighting, including the stage lights, on the interior and exterior of the building.

The Cargill Theatre seats 584 and boasts a completely motorized fly system made up of ETC motorized Vortek hoists. As staff and patron safety are of the utmost importance, JOEL Rigging also installed an automated fire curtain for the stage.
