Description of the Venue
This is the performance space at the Western Front. It is housed in a Knights of Pythias Lodge Hall - a three storey wooden building that was raised in the outskirts of Mount Pleasant in 1922. The space was purchased by a group of artists in 1973 and since that time has been home to many performative events and other happenings.
