Frank Venables Theatre - Oliver, BC
A wonderful new performing arts centre in the heart of the South Okanagan, the Frank Venables Theatre is a mid-sized community venue adjacent to the Southern Okanagan Secondary School and operated by the non-profit Oliver Community Theatre Society.

The new Frank Venables Theatre is a modern facility ready to be filled with appreciative audiences, community activities and artists and entertainers from around the globe. With its ample stage, sophisticated lighting equipment and welcoming lobby, the new theatre offers exciting opportunities for live performances and entertainment in the region.
The not-for-profit Theatre Society aims to operate and manage the Frank Venables Theatre as a centre for community events and the performing arts.
