The Regent Theatre at 551 Mt Pleasant Rd. has been sold to Terra Bruce Productions for a reported $7,400,000. The old theatre was built as the Belsize in 1927 and is now set for “design and development” by Terra Bruce according to Alex Vaccari, vice president of Colonial House Capital Ltd. The two firms are at 17 Prince Arthur Ave. Mr. Vaccari said “we passionately believe that breathing new life into this historic space will be of huge benefit to our City, and to the arts community more generally. While it will be an enormous investment of time and resources to bring this beautiful building back to its former glory, it is certainly a project that we are all excited to undertake”. Terra Bruce is called the “creative force and employment generator for the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador” and is responsible for the musical No Change in the Weather which played at the CAA Theatre at 651 Yonge St late last year.
