Former theatre manager has theft trial rescheduled

The trial for the former manager accused of stealing money from the Red Deer-based Central Alberta Theatre company has been rescheduled and will now proceed on Nov. 20 and 21.

The trial for the former manager accused of stealing money from the Red Deer-based Central Alberta Theatre company has been rescheduled and will now proceed on Nov. 20 and 21.

The trial was set for Tuesday afternoon in Red Deer provincial court, but more time was required because of the number of witnesses.

Crown prosecutor Robin Joudrey said the crown has 11 witnesses and defence lawyer Glyn Walter is calling two.

William Trefry, 45, is charged with theft and is alleged to have taken between $6,000 and $7,000 of the theatre company’s money while he was employed as its executive director.

Trefry was hired for the position in the spring of 2010, four years after joining CAT as a member. He left the job in the fall of 2011.
