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.
The Roseland Theatre is a landmark theatre in New Glasgow, Nova Scotia. Originally built for silent films, it is one of the oldest movie theatre buildings in Nova Scotia but it is best known as the location of a human rights case involving Viola Desmond, who challenged racial segregation in 1946. It was converted from a movie theatre to the "Roseland Cabaret" nightclub in the 1990s and to office and retail space in 2015.
