Description
In 2000 the construction of the Rising Tide Arts Centre in Trinity established a new permanent home for the company and a focal point for the 20,000 annual visitors who are drawn to the unique blend of art, entertainment and history.
The Arts Centre is located on Green's Point where there has been an enterprise for at least 300 years since William Taverner first staked his plantation in 1700. Taverner's daughter married Benjamin Lester whose fishing rooms and shipyards covered half of Trinity. Lester also built the brick house across the way from the theatre. His nephew, John Bingley Garland, was the first speaker of the House of Assembly in Newfoundland. After the Garlands, a succession of other merchants followed, until the Ryans made Trinity the center of their Labrador trade. Rising Tide is proud to be a part of the recreation and preservation of that tradition. (https://www.risingtidetheatre.com/the-theatre.html - theatre web site)
