Congratulations Theatre Centre!

After 34 years of existence in more than 10 different locations, the Theatre Centre will finally move to a permanent home in January 2014 in the heart of Toronto’s dynamic West Queen West neighbourhood. It will occupy the renovated historic Carnegie library building at 1115 Queen Street West, which has been renovated into a new, fully-equipped, multi-space and multidisciplinary performing arts facility. The opening of their permanent home presents a unique opportunity for The Theatre Centre to present an exciting six-month program of new local, national and international performance work, as well as free activities.

A new way to fund independent arts and culture nationwide!
FWYC is run by the Toronto Fringe, which is a non-profit arts organization
that provides creative opportunities for artists and their supporters.
“We see ourselves as facilitators and enablers of independent art. FWYC is an extension of what we do, because funding is one of the building blocks of any creative endeavour. Our mission is to see great projects come to life.”
Anyone who has an indie arts project can create a campaign and anyone with access to a
computer can back it! You do not have to be in the Fringe Festival, or be in Toronto, or be
especially pretty to use the site. If you have a project in mind, please use this site to make it a
reality.
