 About the Carriage House Theatre
November of 1912 was an exciting time
for those in town when Cardston’s progressive and
wealthy Mark Spencer built a large modern show house
where the Carriage House Theatre now stands. This
theatre would be called the “New Palace Theatre” and
would change hands many times before being bought by the
Brewerton Brothers in 1927. It continued under that name
until February of 1937, when the theatre reopened after
a major renovation along with a name change from “The
Palace Theatre” to “The MayFair Theatre”. Sixty years
later, on the 14th of February 1992, the
latest incarnation of the Mayfair opened to the public.
Two years effort and over a million dollars were
expended to create the new facility, now known as the
“Carriage House Theatre”. This old theatre building is
now again usable and viable for both movies and live
theatre productions. The Carriage House Theatre
Foundation has assisted in making it functional. Through
countless hours of volunteer work and through thousands
of dollars worth of donated services, materials, and
equipment, coupled with government dollars, the
non-profit foundation has accomplished a great deal.
People from all over the world have now visited the
theatre to attend live theatre productions and the
quality of family and community life within our region
has been enriched with the ‘good family’ entertainment
that is offered by the Foundation. We are very proud of
the state of the art facility which it has become to us
and thank all those who have been a part of its success.
