Old Town Hall Projection System Survey

Old Town Hall Theatre - View from the Balcony

The Old Town Hall Advisory Committee is exploring opportunities to enhance the utilization of the Old Town Hall Theatre. This historic venue, located at 38 John Street South in downtown Aylmer, offers a unique setting for a variety of events. The theatre features main floor and balcony seating with a total capacity of 180 guests in theatre-style arrangements. Amenities include a stage, piano rental, light and sound equipment, dressing rooms, a kitchen with a fridge, a beverage bar, podiums, a projection screen, and elevator access. With rental rates starting as low as $30 per hour, it provides exceptional value for a fully equipped performance, conference, and presentation space in the heart of downtown Aylmer.

One project being considered by the Committee is a new projection system for the Old Town Hall Theatre. The proposed projection system would enable high-quality multimedia and film presentations on the existing 12ft screen. The Committee is issuing this survey to determine if community organizations or members would be interested in this potential upgrade.

The Committee is actively seeking community and stakeholder input to assess interest in this proposed upgrade and to identify any additional needs or obstacles that may exist. Feedback collected will be invaluable in guiding future improvements and ensuring that the Old Town Hall continues to serve as a vibrant cultural and community hub in Aylmer.
