Clark, Wright will be first performers to experience new digs this weekend

Performers at the Sunset Amphitheatre at Seacliff Park now have a place to call home while they are setting up for and relaxing after their concerts, with the completion of the new Amphitheatre Performer Room and storage facility.

This coming weekend, country music stars Terri Clark and Michelle Wright — and their respective crews — will be the first to experience the comfort of the building as they set up to entertain thousands at the waterfront on Canada Day.

The project aligns with Leamington’s Waterfront Destination Masterplan, which will enhance the amenities and experience offered at Seacliff Park.

The new permanent performer room replaces the temporary office trailers brought in for previous seasons, allowing a dedicated space for artists to relax and prepare for their shows backstage, enhancing the overall experience for visiting performers.

The air-conditioned room was completely furnished by Gabriele Furniture and provides a cool, relaxing atmosphere for the performers and their teams.

In addition to the Performer Room, the building also houses a new storage area for equipment operated by the Board of Works, which will streamline operations at the park and reduce unnecessary transport to and from the Board of Works Complex.

“We are excited to open this new facility just in time for our 150th Anniversary celebration,” said Mayor Hilda MacDonald. “The Amphitheatre Performer Room and storage building will greatly enhance the functionality of Seacliff Park and the Sunset Amphitheatre, providing a permanent, professional space for artists and more efficient operations for our Public Works team.”
