The Town of Fort McLeod owns the restored Empress Theatre. It is still operational as a theatre that shows movies, but they also have live preformances from time to time. It is a really cool old building. While we were in town photographing all the old signs on Historic Main Street, the manager of the Theatre invited us in to have a quick look around. Unfortunately he was unable to stay longer, so we only had quick tour.
The old original seats are still in place and it is the only theatre I have ever seen that has a few "double" seats. How romantic that must have been on date night. Further restorations are in the works and the next time we are down in the area we will have to try to check out a show.
