For over four decades, Factory Theatre has developed and produced some of the finest theatrical works in our national canon and been home to some of the most gifted and prolific playwrights in our country.

 

In any given year, more than 50,000 patrons come to Factory’s historic Victorian mansion at the corner of Bathurst and Adelaide Streets (in the heart of Toronto’s cultural west-end district) – an inviting, inclusive environment where ideas and imagination intersect.

 

Factory Theatre is unique in that it is committed solely to the development and production of Canadian plays through staged readings, workshops, Natural Resources (resident creation groups), writers’ retreats, residencies, Factory Wired (festivals of new work in progress), and ultimately premiere productions.

 

The Factory Theatre play development program is committed to the long-term investment of playwrights and creators and Canadian work that celebrates our diversity by engaging, provoking, entertaining, and inspiring our artists, audience and the community at large.

 

Factory is not only “the home of the Canadian playwright” but is dedicated to serving our community by building a strong neighbourhood identity in our role as a cultural hub. Partnerships with local schools and businesses and initiatives, such as our Neighbours Nights and Curtain Raiser events, are what ground us as a remarkable artistic resource and cultural institution.
