This year The Theatre Centre celebrates ten years of programming in their forever home at 1115 Queen West.
To mark the occasion, a series called 10 for 10 (ten unique offerings over ten months) launched with a building-wide party, the first of ten free or low-cost artistic offerings happening throughout 2024 to showcase new work by innovative artists, and bring the community closer together.
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.
Announcing our 23.24 Programming
The Theatre Centre announces its 23.24 Fall/Winter Programming, presenting two hugely acclaimed experimental productions work.txt and asses.masses — where audiences are invited to “play”: participating, gaming, and/or actively observing.

“The freedom and the emphasis on process over product are freeing and low pressure and it leaves room to be creative in a way I’ve never experienced before.”

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.
