Theater in Toronto

Toronto is one of Canada's premiere theatre destinations, offering visitors everything from niche and experimental, to blockbuster and off-broadway. Smaller production companies like Nightwood Theatre, Theatre Passe Muraille, Tarragon, Soulpepper, Buddies in Bad Times and The Factory are sprinkled throughout the city, while big venues like the Royal Alex, Roy Thompson Hall and the Hummingbird Centre are concentrated in the downtown core. The content that crosses Toronto's many stages runs the gamut: from provocative and thoughtful, to fundamentally feel-good. As a centre for world-class entertainment, Toronto's theatre scene is as diverse as its audience - a characteristic that wins it acclaim.
