The Empress is a not for profit theatre in Fort Macleod, Alberta that has been open since 1912.

In January 1910 the Lethbridge Herald announced that a new opera house with orchestra pit would be built[1] And it opened in 1912[2] as a vaudeville and theatrical performance venue for North-West Mounted Police.
