Joyce Dunn Community Theatre

The Village of Chase, B.C., wanted to erect an outdoor performance space in time for the community’s 100th anniversary celebration. Though they could foresee many uses for the space, the planners were open to Daizen’s recommendation on design and structure. This public space was featured along with other Spirit Squares in a television spot promoting British Columbia, as “the best place on Earth.”
