In March 2005, a small group of enthusiastic theatre buffs met at the Kinburn Community Centre to discuss the possibility of starting a dramatic arts community in West Carleton.

The group was convinced that the interest and energy were present in the community - the burning question was could it be tapped and, if so, where could productions be held? Both questions were answered in an amazingly short time span. The original core group quickly found a response in the community. Characters were auditioned and cast for three varying dramatic pieces, which were quickly approved. The initial core of dedicated drama buffs found themselves expanding.

As for a suitable venue, approaches were made to Ward 5 Councillor Eli El-Chantiry for use of the old council chamber in what is now the Kinburn Client Service Centre. Mr. Chantiry responded positively and enthusiastically to the idea and deserves much of the credit, along with the staff at the Client Service Centre, for easing the transformation of Council Chamber to Theatre.
