Support Factory Theatre
Factory Theatre is Toronto’s home for cutting edge Canadian performance. As the first and longest running theatre company in the city dedicated exclusively to the creation and production of new Canadian work, Factory Theatre has been at the forefront of theatrical innovation in this country since 1970.
Over our history, we’ve premiered over 300 new plays on our stages and produced 600 more in workshops and other formats. In the last decade alone, over 150 emerging artists have come through our training programs, and dozens more participate every year.
Since our founding, Factory Theatre has maintained an unwavering commitment to Canadian artists, their stories, and the next generation of theatre makers. When you choose to Invest in Factory Theatre, you help us continue this vital work, and charge forward into our next great chapter.
Invest in Canadian Artists
To celebrate Factory’s 55th anniversary during the 2025/26 season, we gathered some of Canada’s most exciting theatre creators to join our Page to Stage Conversation Series. David Yee, Charlotte Corbeil-Coleman, Matthew MacKenzie, Monica Garrido Huerta, Alaine Hutton and Lauren Gillis (of Lester Trips Theatre) hung out in our Studio Theatre to discuss all things craft, process, Canadian theatre, and Factory’s place in their journey.
These stories are powerful reminders of why bespoke, artist-centred, new play development processes matter. At Factory, we design processes like this every time a new work is created in our building. Learn more about how your donation energizes this work below.
