Plaza Theatre

One of my favourite Famous Players theatres. This theatre was a partnership operation between the Durham family of Shaunavon Saskatchewan and Famous Players Canadian Corporation. It was operated jointly from 1930 to 1990 approximately. Famous would book the theatre and the Durhams would manage it and the profits would be split in equal shares!! Before the Plaza theatre was built, it was a dance hall owned by the Durham family. This theatre is without a doubt family owned and operated longer than any other theatre in Canada and possibly North America. The citizens of Shaunavon Saskatchewan are very lucky to have the Durham family looking after their entertainment needs. The Plaza Theatre has just recently converted to digital projection; so a bright and good future has been assured for years to come!!
