Mermaid Imperial Performing Arts Centre
In 2003, Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia acquired the former Imperial Theatre at 106 Gerrish Street in Windsor. The theatre was built between 1910 and 1920, and originally was used as a movie theatre and performing venue. At the time of the acquisition, the facility had been sitting vacant for several years. Over the next several years, with the assistance of local, provincial, and national partners, the space has been converted to a performing arts centre. The facility has been renamed the Mermaid Imperial Performing Arts Centre (or MIPAC). Since 2008, the facility has been used to host a regular schedule of performances, from Mermaid Theatre's own flagship productions, to community shows and nationally touring productions.
