A 285-seat auditorium that hosts year-round concerts, plays, and other community functions. The theatre can be transformed into an outdoor amphitheatre, one of the few theatres in Canada (if not the only) that can do that. During the summer it hosts celebrations for Canada Day on June 30, the New Glasgow Riverfront Jubilee during the first weekend in August, and the Race on the River Dragon Boat Festival in mid-August.
No longer a theatre, this building is still of interest to those who enjoy historical tourism focused on the history of justice. The building's exterior still looks much like it did when Viola Desmond's arrest here in 1946 touched off the Civil Rights movement in Canada. The Roseland Cabaret nightclub operates in the former theatre.
