BMO Theatre Centre

A unique partnership between Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival and the Arts Club Theatre Company has come to fruition with the opening of Vancouver’s newest cultural hub, the BMO Theatre Centre. The Centre, a custom-built facility at 162 West 1st Avenue, now houses the administrative offices of both companies. There is also a state-of-the-art theatre called the Goldcorp Stage, along with both Bard and the Arts Club’s costume shops and costume collections, and four fully-equipped rehearsal and performance studios which are available for rent for portions of the year.

For the first time in its twenty-nine year history, Bard has a permanent year-round home for its administrative and production staff. This all-season space also allows Bard the opportunity to expand its education and training programs beyond its summer home at Vanier Park. Off-season Education programs include Bard Youth Fest, Bard Studio, and Bard for Life.

The capital funding for the Centre was generously provided by the City of Vancouver, Heritage Canada, the Province of BC, BMO Financial Group, Goldcorp, Industrial Alliance Financial Group and ITC Construction Group, plus a group of generous individual donors (see below for full list).

Visit Bard Education for more information on the programs available at the Centre.
