The long running renovations at the Globe Theatre in Regina are also running into financial issues.

The Globe and the contractor doing the work are asking for Regina City Council for help.

Costs of the project have continued to climb as workers have been renovating the former City Hall building, which is more than 100 years old.

Council has deferred the request to next month, so staff can come forward with ideas on where the city can find 1.9 million dollars to help the project.
