The Barrie Downtown Theatre: Under the Knife

Barrie's Five Points Theatre Goes Under The Knife

In March, 2010, the City of Barrie had decided to demolish the former Bank building and rebuild the performance venue, The Five Points Theatre, Formerly known as the Mady Centre for the Performing Arts, or Barrie Downtown Theatre.  This is a tribute to the old Bank Theatre which stood at 1 Dunlop Street West.
