Meet Doug Roper & Phoenix Theatre Management Society

The Phoenix Theatre began as a vision that citizens of Fort Nelson had to create a local space for community theatre and arts programs. Thanks to hard-working, dedicated community members, the local Arts Council and the city, The Phoenix opened to the public in 1992. Its major mandate is to encourage and promote local artists and arts programs. The Phoenix is managed by a board of directors and revenues generated through ticket sales and rentals help to maintain the theatre and boost the local arts community.

Doug Roper is the General Manager of The Phoenix and credits the citizens and businesses of Fort Nelson with the ongoing success of the theatre and its programming. People in a small town tend to have a greater sense of community and take community improvement more seriously than people living in a city. In Fort Nelson, people are friendly and caring and willing to do their part to make the town a better place to live. "Fort Nelson has a lot of spirit!" says Doug.
