About The Theatre Centre

The Theatre Centre is an internationally recognized live-arts incubator and community hub. Our mission is to offer a home for creative, cultural and social interactions to invent the future. We make work that spans disciplines and genres; work that pushes the boundaries of what is considered performance.

In 2014, The Theatre Centre completed a $6.2 million transformation of an iconic heritage building into a permanent home for the company. Since that time, we’ve established ourselves as a cultural & community hub in the heart of West Queen West. As a charitable organization, we continue to be known for having research & development at the heart of our artistic activities, through our long-term Residency Program. Recently among our Residency artists have been a choreographer, a performance artist, and a neurologist. No two projects are alike.
