Eger eager to take hold of Western Canada Theatre
KAMLOOPS — Western Canada Theatre has a new man at the top with Matt Eger taking over the role this week as executive director of the company.
After arriving in Kamloops just a few weeks ago, Eger moved into his role as executive director on Monday (Sept 23). Not lost on him was his timing with the announcement of the performing arts centre moving ahead that same day.
“I can’t even put to words how incredible it is to arrive at this time, when the Kamloops Centre for the Arts got approved [as part of] Build Kamloops. What a beautiful time to be welcomed to the city,” said Eger. “On my first day here, I also got welcomed by the northern lights in the sky so it all seems like it’s coming together. What a beautiful time for the city and for the arts in the city, too.”
