After renovation, its new permenent residence will house a 225-seat theatre, a rehearsal hall, a design workshop and office space. The federal government marked the occasion by announcing its contribution of $1.8 million to the project through the Canada Cultural Spaces Fund of the Department of Canadian Heritage.
The Theatre Centre has made a home for innovative theatre in several different buildings over the past 33 years. Current resident companies include Project: Humanity, The Sixth Man Collective, Philip McKee and Tanja Jacobs. Until the building is ready to receive it, The Theatre Centre is operating from a pop-up space at 1095 Queen West.
