Biographical history
The theatre was opened in 1906 as the Angus Theatre, located on MacDonald Street, and owned and operated by R.M. Angus. By 1930 R.G. Grant was the owner. Due to the advent of sound in the movies, Mr. Grant changed the name to the Audien. The Audien theatre was also used for live theatre and community activities. In 1936, Mr. Grant sold the theatre to Matt Park of Calgary. Mr. Park installed new sound and projection equipment, a new screen, and new seats. The building was demolished in 1986.
Custodial history
Gift of Mr. Doug Hutchinson, 1986. Mr. Hutchinson is a long-time resident of Wetaskiwin but his relationship to the Audien Theatre is unknown.
