Welcome to d’bi.young anitafrika’s virtuosic three-week repertory production celebrating the 20th anniversary of the critically acclaimed Sankofa Trilogy featuring the plays blood.claat, benu, and word! sound! powah!
The Theatre Centre is thrilled to announce its first slate of new Residency Artists since 2020. From 150 applications to this competitive program, five projects conceived by eight artists were selected to join Residency: Ann-Marie MacDonald and Alisa Palmer, Brandon Hackett and Jonathan Langdon, Philip Geller, Gregory Prest, and Jennifer Goodwin.
We’re part of The Theatre Centre, but we are also our own thing. A workspace, a coffee shop, a bar, a performance space, a gathering place. Coffee, cocktails, delicious treats, and free wifi—spend an hour or the whole day. This place is for you.
The Theatre Centre resides on stolen land in Tkaronto — a gathering place that has been home to the Anishinaabe, including the Mississaugas of the Credit; the Haudenosaunee; and the Wendat since time immemorial. We offer our gratitude to all past, present, and future generations of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples that care for Turtle Island. Tkaronto is covered by the Dish With One Spoon Wampum, an agreement forged between the Anishinaabe Nation and the Haudenosaunee Confederacy to peaceably share resources; and Treaty 13, an alleged agreement between settlers and the Mississaugas of the Credit.
Like many arts organizations, The Theatre Centre has directly benefited from settler-colonialism throughout its past to the present day. By making our home in Tkaronto, we take on a role that comes with responsibilities to the land and its stewards. We are committed to using our voice and platform to support those already doing the work, but we know we still have a long way to go.
