Since 1974 Toronto’s Bloor West Village Players have produced both entertaining and thought-provoking theatre. As a non-profit group it aims to offer professional production quality, at a modest cost. It is an active part of the community and provides opportunities for training and participation in all aspects of theatre.

We produce a season of 5 Mainspace plays in our 162 seat theatre, from September to May.  It’s a major advantage for us to have our own space: we rehearse on site (on the actual stage for much of the time), build sets right on the stage

Who selects our plays?

Our Reading Committee spends the year reading, then presents a long-list of recommendations to The Board, which chooses five.

The Board of Directors

…then co-ordinates the team for each show; directors, producers, stage managers, designers, operators, and the balance of the team are all pulled from our large volunteer base.  Read more about volunteers…

Each Board member also has general operations duties to fulfill, including finances, production supervision, technical and property maintenance, promotion, and if they can find the time, some direct a play or even make it on stage.

Board of Directors for 2022-23:

Anne Harper
Bill Hammond
Bridget Jankowski
David Nicholson
John Acuna
Julie Rush
Nick Munretto
Shabnam Munjal

The success of The Village Players lies on its ability to remain community based. Anyone can volunteer or audition for a role – all it takes is a love of theatre, enthusiasm, and a desire to use your skills in a common project (and learn new ones).

 

SPONSORSHIP & ADVERTISING:

Approximately 1700 individuals come to each of our 5 performances, 70% of them from the West End of Toronto.  All of them receive a program for each show, with a program cover for each season.

We sell advertising for that program cover – on the back (as shown here) and inside.

If your business is interested in reaching that audience, contact us for rates.

RENTALS:

In addition to our own shows, Village Playhouse is available for rentals.  See HERE.
