The Gault Building is a good example of a Richardsonian Romanesque-style warehouse at a key intersection in Winnipeg's Exchange District, a national historic site. The substantial masonry structure, designed by George Browne to accommodate the western expansion of Montreal dry goods wholesaler A.F. Gault and Co., was among the first large warehouses built in response to Winnipeg's rise as a regional distribution centre. 

The landmark, which, with the annex, fills nearly half a city block, physically anchors three important streetscapes and functionally retains a prominent role as an arts centre containing studios, galleries, offices and a theatre.

One Trunk Theatre debuts its pop up theatre this winter. Designed by 5468796 Architecture and built by Chris Pancoe and Shaun de Rooy, this 32 square feet space will be home to free concerts, photography shoots, live performance and visual art installations. The space will be open to the public as a warming hut throughout these three weeks.

The Dollhouse of Commons will become home to One Trunk Theatre's theatrical experiments and touring. Built on a bike trailer, this space (with one side that opens completely) allows for a new performer/audience relationship.
