History of The Norman Rothstein Theatre

www.normanrothsteintheatre.com

Norman Rothstein was born in 1918 into a pioneer family in the Vancouver Jewish community. Norman was a successful businessman and, with his wife and beloved live partner Annette, had a passion for Israel and the Cultural Arts. He held many positions in local Jewish and cultural arts organizations including Vice-President of the United Jewish Appeal and Board Member and strong supporter of the Vancouver Playhouse Theatre and the Vancouver Art Gallery. His leadership in both the Jewish and the cultural arts communities led to Annette Rothstein’s endownment of the Norman Rothstein Theatre in the Jewish Community Centre of Greater Vancouver as a fitting way to honour his memory. Annette Rothstein is the theatre’s Honourary Patron.

The Norman Rothstein Theatre is a fully equipped 318 seat performance venue. The Theatre features a complete sound and lighting system, and acoustic shell, a full-size movie screen and commercial projector, dance floor and a grand piano. Located in the heart of the beautiful Jewish community Centre of greater Vancouver, the facility is wheelchair accessible, air-conditioned and has onsite parking available.

The Norman Rothstein theatre is committed to the support of live performance, the development of new audiences and the extension of community that art creates.
