Also, a good deal of the constructionwork was completed by thesevolunteers who used a wide variety ofprevious work and life experience tocontribute to the theatre’s development.Housed in the former CPR stationbuilt in 1887, the location was already animportant part of the history of the Townof Smiths Falls. At one time, SmithsFalls was a major railway hub betweenMontreal and Toronto. Many citizens ofSmiths Falls can claim to have relativeswho were employed by the CPR.The story of the amazing transformationof the railway station at 53 VictoriaAve. into the Station Theatre beganin 1999 when the CPR indicated to thetown that the deteriorating buildingwould be demolished and replaced witha smaller structure for VIA passengers.The local theatre group stepped forwardwith an inventive plan to renovate thebuilding and create a 140-seat theatre.Through the generous donations of localresidents, as well as major financialcontributions from the Town of SmithsFalls, the province of Ontario and corporatesponsors, the building was transformedinto a beautiful performancespace, which incorporates the history ofthe railway and the excitement of a theatricalvenue.As soon as you enter the lobby youwill be awestruck not only by its transformationfrom a railway station, but theuniqueness of the architectural design,which itself is akin to a performancespace that is the envy of small communitiesacross the province. Many whovisit comment saying, “you could puton a play right here in the lobby”. Totruly appreciate what the Station Theatrehas to offer, both architecturally andin terms of performance space, one mustsee it. Since opening, the theatre hashoused a wide variety of performances,as well as non-theatre uses such as corporateevents as it is now fully equippedwith WIFI, a projector and large screen.It has even hosted weddings.Along with viewing the amazingstructural changes that have taken placeNo self-risingflour inthe house?Make yourown by adding1-1/2 teaspoonsof bakingpowder and 1/2teaspoon ofsalt toevery cup ofregular flour.When using thissubstitute, omitthe saltand bakingpowder calledfor in the recipe.in this 125-year-old building, those whopass through the doors of the StationTheatre on June 9 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.will be able to take in some amazing entertainment,in addition to seeing howthe “inside” of a theatre works.
