The Republic Cultural Centre Theatre
As the cultural landmark of the North, The Republic Cultural Centre (TRCC) presents a myriad of programs to our diverse audience. TRCC is the focal point for the artistic development of our students, and also a cultural space that facilitates the integration of the community through the common appreciation of the arts.
TRCC’s venues provide aspiring artists platforms to realize their passion, and to share that with a wider audience. With its weekly arts series “Culture Checkpoint” and the annual Community Arts Festival, TRCC hopes to raise cultural awareness and appreciation for our colorful heritage. In so doing, TRCC seeks to be the venue of choice for entertainment, exploration and enrichment of the arts.
Designed by Maki & Associates (Japan), TRCC exudes an elegant simplicity and balance of aesthetics and functionality that reflects our approach to nurturing an appreciation for the arts and culture. Under its fan-shaped roof, TRCC has three main performing arts venues:
a) 1,000-seat Theatre,
b) 300-seat Studio and,
c) 120-seat Lab.
On top of these performing spaces, TRCC also has a complement of rooms and studios for practice, rehearsal and recordings. TRCC is more than just a superb array of arts venues but also a driving force that strives to provide a viable platform for students, staff and community partners, to realize their passion for the arts and the cultural vibrancy.
