In 2017 the Magna Arts Council, with help from the staff of the Empress Theatre, presented a seminar on the subject of “Theatre in Magna”. And Theater. Because we care. This was a free, fun overview of the topic, including a look at the history of live theaters in Magna, as well as some great quest speakers who shared their experiences in the field. And even a bonus live performance by an Improv Comedy Troupe associated with the Empress Theater.
