On Tuesday, PotashCorp NB made a $250,000 matching contribution and today MP Rodney Weston gave $100,000 to support the theatre over two different seasons.
Executive Director S. G. Lee tells CHSJ News the money from the federal government is for programming.
She says this money goes directly to the cost of bringing in artists including fees, travel and flights and community activities in and around the Imperial.
Lee says planning for the 2013/2014 is 75 per cent complete and now they are working on the 2014/2015 season.
