PALACE THEATRE
I feel like every second or third little prairie town in this country, or maybe even in North America, has a Palace Theatre. Daysland Alberta is no exception. Today I drove some pretty nasty highways from Lethbridge to Daysland for an evening show at their Palace Theatre. I love the town societies. Take care of their old theaters. They’re easy to knock down because sometimes the money that it takes to renovate them and keep them open. It’s too much for a small town arts organization. Kudos to them for remembering that the arts should be a vibrant part of all communities regardless of the size. One should not have to drive to Edmonton or Calgary just to see art. It’s crucial that people can do it in their own hometown. I first played this theatre in 2000. I can’t believe 25 years later I’m back. Sharon and Ken Eshpeter I’ve been very good to me over the years.
