APPEARING FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME @ SMITHS FALLS STATION THEATRE

Definite Leppard is excited to perform at the legendary and historic Smiths Falls Station Theatre! Built in 1886, this landmark building originally served as a passenger rail station connecting Smiths Falls and Montreal. In 1999, the Canadian Pacific Railway and VIA each offered $50,000 if the municipality would work to refurbish the then dilapidated structure. Otherwise, it would be pulled down and replaced with a small bus transit-like shelter. The station was widely regarded as a real eyesore and yet, as one of the oldest buildings in Smiths Falls, losing it would have been a greater tragedy. The idea of converting the run-down CPR station into a permanent home for community theatre quickly became a dream then a goal. CPR sold the station to the town of Smiths Falls for one dollar, and contributed $50,000 towards its retrofit as did VIA. The official turnover was December 7, 1999. Don't miss this fun-filled night jammed with hit-after-hit-after hit!
