Your support gives artists the opportunity to embrace risk. We provide artists with the time, resources, and mentorship they need to push the boundaries of art itself. Your support also allows a community hub to flourish. Open to the public 7 days a week we offer a place to gather; a place where you can imagine, debate, celebrate, protest, unite and invent the future.
Whether you make a donation, volunteer your time, talk about us on social media, or stay connected through our newsletter, your contribution makes a difference. Thank you for your generosity!

"The Theatre Centre is uniquely a hub for artists to create and explore without the pressure of production. There is no other venue so purely suited to the creative process. Most are risk averse and oriented towards the end presentation so heavily, the artist doesn't feel liberated in creation, so the end product is compromised. It's like picking fruit too early. The Theatre Centre is a fantastic organic orchard, and our theatre ecology is greatly bettered by their artist-first mission and mandate."
