Theatre Guild receives $100,000 Accessibility Grant from Federal Government

Next PLAY READING on June 27th 

Our next FREE play reading is June 27th at 1:00p.m. >check “What’s Happening” tab

A BIG THANKS to MP Monsef and the Federal Government’s Enabling Access Funds! The Guild has been given a grant of $100,000 to improve accessibility to the Gwen Brown Studio and washroom facilities at the Guild Hall. Thanks also to Ann Farquharson (former Board member) for her work in helping us to get this grant and manage the project to upgrade the Guild facilities to make them accessible to all.

This project and our re-opening plans are a result of the Guild Board continuing to meet virtually each month to keep moving forward in spite of current restrictions. Thanks to everyone involved.

We are hosting play readings on the last Sunday of each month following COVID protocols. For more information check the tab “What’s Happening” and click on “Play Readings”.

Given the current situation with Covid-19, and our concern for the health and safety of our volunteers and patrons, the Board of Directors has moved the production of Annie forward to November of the 21/22 season, a decision not easily made, but very necessary.

We continue to monitor Public Health restrictions and will follow their guidance regarding the use of the theatre for play readings and other events. Stay well everyone!   

Marion Griffin,

President / Chair

An important message about COVID-19

Our production of ANNIE (at Showplace) has been postponed until November 2021
We continue to consult with Public Health and other local theatre companies about risks associated with COVID 19 as part of our commitment to the safety and well-being of our volunteers and patrons.
We’ll be producing a shorter season next year.
Please be patient as we are an ‘all-volunteer’ organization.
There have been about 1,500 tickets already sold for our upcoming events. THANK YOU to those generous patrons who have donated the value of tickets to the Guild. This will really help us to keep the lights on.
Tickets for postponed shows will be honoured at rescheduled dates. Just hold on to them. If patrons cannot reschedule they may be exchange tickets for other shows, tax donation receipts or refunds.
We hope that our patrons understand the impact of these challenges to both private sector and not-for-profit charitable theatres like us. Decisions to close or cancel are not taken lightly. We are confident that the Guild can weather the storm with your generous support.
We are monitoring trusted sources of public health information: Health Ontario’s COVID-19 website: https://www.ontario.ca/page/2019-novel-coronavirus and the Public Health Agency of Canada.
We are pleased to say that the Guild already regularly practices the sanitation procedures advised by local health authorities. As added precautions, we offer hand sanitizer throughout the building. Meanwhile, we perform additional sanitizing wipe downs of all surfaces during our regular cleaning protocols.
If you have questions or comments, please email them to info@theatreguild.org.
Please contact our box office only for specific ticket issues.
Here’s hoping that it won’t be long before we see you at the theatre.
