Theatre & Performing Arts

In the past few decades, Cranbrook has gained a performing arts reputation in the Kootenay Rockies.
Two performance venues, the Key City Theatre and the Stage Door, are located in the downtown core.
The Key City Theatre
This modern theatre opened its doors in 1992, and has staged everything from local high school musicals to professional touring productions by Vancouver's Arts Club Theatre. With a seating capacity of 600, it's an excellent spot to catch dance, music and drama shows. An art gallery in the upstairs lobby presents the work of local and regional artists.
In summer, however, lovers of live theatre will have to travel to the Wild Horse Theatre in Fort Steele Heritage Town – the Key City Theatre is on vacation for the months of July and August.

The Studio/Stage Door
Located in a building that was constructed a century ago as a Masonic Temple, this community-run arts facility is both engaging and fun. The Studio is a beautiful dance space on the main floor. Upstairs, with just 88 seats and less than charter flight legroom, the intimate Stage Door Theatre is a charming venue for plays presented by the Cranbrook Community Theatre.
Cranbrook RecPlex
The Recplex is used extensively for sporting events, and occasionally as a venue for concerts featuring big names such as Blue Rodeo.
Wild Horse Theatre
The short drive to Fort Steele is a journey back into the fascinating history of the Kootenay Rockies. Everything about this restored frontier town is theatrical; the whole town is reminiscent of a movie studio lot, and the townspeople are all dressed in period costume. However, the Wild Horse Theatre takes the illusion one step further with the theatrical performance of a historically relevant play – presented daily at 3:30pm daily throughout the summer.

Activities vary by season and include ice cream making, horse-drawn wagon tours, steam train rides, gold panning lessons, live theatre, museum displays and various demonstrations. See many varieties of heritage breed livestock. Fort Steele is perched on the western slopes of the Canadian Rocky Mountains.
