Café/Bar Staff Takeover!

At The Theatre Centre Café/Bar

This summer The Theatre Centre staff have teamed up to offer a series of evening community events. There’s something for everyone!

There will be special drinks for each event. Plus, your favourite Lost Craft products on the shelf. More events will to be announced soon, so stay tuned.

July 20, 7:30PM-10:30PM Reading Party! Hosted by Emily & Brandon

That’s right! It’s a party but it’s chill and everyone’s reading. Bring your own book or choose from reading copies (provided by Playwrights Canada Press), get cozy, and read for a few hours!

RSVP here.

Don’t have a book to bring? We got you!

Did you know that The Theatre Centre has a little free library? Plus, Playwrights Canada Press will bring reading copies to lend during the event.

Dramatic literature dives directly into action and dialogue in bite-sized adventures that the average reader can often finish in one sitting — Reading plays is highly imaginative, entertaining and accessible! Playwrights Canada Press will have reading copies available for you to enjoy.

and a Booksale?!

Come sample the latest publications from Playwrights Canada Press including Ransacking Troy by Erin Shields, The Art of War by Yvette Nolan, Rise, Red River by Tara Beagan, The Extractionist by Michaela Jeffery and many more! And if you like what you read, you can purchase copies at a special 30% off discount, or 50% off for 3 or more books!

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!

Our menu changes on the regular: Our Baker in Residence, Akash Swar, is often in the kitchen baking something brand new. If something smells good, make sure to try them before they’re gone. If you really love something, let us know so that we can bake it more often!
