The Coal Mine Theatre is Toronto’s premiere Off-Off-Broadview theatre! Coal Mine brings Canada’s most influential theatre artists back to where many of us started out – in an intimate but transformable black-box space. Get close to the action at Coal Mine Theatre; there’s no professional theatre experience like it in Toronto.

Since its founding in 2015 by Diana Bentley and Ted Dykstra, The Coal Mine Theatre has become one of the most talked-about and critically acclaimed theatres in Toronto, independent or otherwise. For eight seasons, in its intimate storefront space on the Danforth, the Coal Mine has presented challenging, stimulating, and award-winning scripts from Canada and around the world. Its productions routinely feature a thrilling combination of well-known and up-and-coming theatre artists, whose outstanding work regularly results in sold-out shows and extended runs.
