Are we a good Fit for You?

The Academy Theatre for Performing Arts is a busy cultural centre, operated as a non-profit organization. Presenting incredible concerts, community productions and providing a venue for local schools and organizations, the Academy relies upon rental income and is strongly supported by the generosity of donations from the public. With guidance from a dedicated Board of Directors, the Academy has a Manager and Administrative Staff who welcome up to 20,000 visitors a year to this grand old building.

Do You Support Our Mission?

The Academy Theatre Foundation supports a distinct theatre to provide a stable environment for the continued growth and development of all the disciplines of the performing arts. We strive to present a diverse annual program, provide opportunities for community groups to affordably access a professional theatre and to remain viable as a rental venue.
