The municipally owned
theatre was built in 1927 as a
community service building. It was operated as a focal point to
community
meetings and events, housed the Public Works Office and Police Office
and in
1939 the auditorium was used as a movie theatre.
Until the 1950`s movies played
but became less of an attraction and the theatre was seldom used. In
1982,
the municipality looked at demolishing the building to create a new
Public
Works Building. Several dedicated Stirling citizens formed the Stirling
Performing Arts Committee and put forth a petition to preserve the
building. Since
then the theatre has been providing entertainment to residents and
tourists.
In 1996, the professional theatre company was
formed with a
program that included plays, musicals and youth programs, as well as
special
events and concerts.

show dates call 1-877-312-1162 or

Originally part of the
Grand Trunk Railway the historic
Stirling CN Railway Station (circa 1879) provided a transportation
lifeline to
the Stirling area until 1968 when the last train whistle sounded in the
village. After its recent relocation by the Stirling Rotary Club the
station
has been refurbished and painted in the original Grand trunk colours.
Rebuilding has a July 2008 target for
completion to help
celebrate Stirling’s 150th Anniversary and at that time will
offer
the community a railway museum and photo gallery in the station itself,
with a
community hall in the lower area for public events requiring seating
for
approximately 100 people. Stirling’s railway heritage is once again
coming to
life.
For more information visit the Stirling
Rotary website.
