The Acadia Cinema Co-operative Ltd. exists to encourage, support and sustain Nova Scotia’s cultural community by providing, operating and continually improving affordable state-of-the art facilities in the historic Acadia Cinema building (a Provincial and Municipal Heritage building since 2018) on Main Street in Wolfville.
Serving the Annapolis Valley and beyond, this unique community-based non-profit co-operative provides an innovative, sought-after cultural complex to facilitate and stimulate cultural activity year-round, encouraging and attracting the broadest range of presenters and presentations.
The Al Whittle Theatre is a soft-seat venue in Wolfville, Nova Scotia (Canada), which is owned and operated by the volunteer-run Acadia Cinema Cooperative, and made up of the following:
Al Whittle Theatre, a 160 soft-seat venue
Studio Z, a multi-purpose smaller venue;
Jack’s Gallery, a theatre lobby art gallery
While the Al Whittle Theatre is the newest reincarnation, the site’s original life as a theatre venue began in 1911.
