The purpose of The Port Theatre Society is to stimulate and enhance artistic, cultural and economic activity in the central Vancouver Island region through the operations of the 800-seat theatre. The theatre is a focal point for residents and visitors alike, offering a broad range of cultural events designed to meet many diverse interests and needs. Programs involve local groups as well as touring attractions and provide access to events for families, seniors, youths and adults, thereby enriching the overall quality of life in the region. A landmark on the city's waterfront, The Port Theatre also serves as an important meeting place for a wide variety of community events, business seminars and educational conferences. By the year 2003, it is projected that over 250 events will be held in the theatre each year attracting over 125,000 people.
Architect of The Port Theatre, Terry Williams' goal was to build a theatre that had good sight lines from all seats, excellent acoustics and a wonderful sense of intimacy. Audiences have raved about these features since The Port Theatre opened.
