For 48 years we have produced new plays, Canadian classics, and the best contemporary work from around the world, in a 19th-century heritage building that has transformed over the years into one of Canada’s most beautiful and intimate cultural spaces.
Ticket sales account for less than half of our operating expenses. We rely on government and corporations to help us continue, but without the generosity of hundreds of individual donors, our beautiful building, and the quality work we produce would not be possible.
