Nightwood Theatre

As Canada’s foremost feminist theatre, Nightwood provides an essential home for the creation of extraordinary theatre by women* (it should be noted that our organizational understanding of women* extends beyond the limitations of cis-womanhood). Founded in 1979, Nightwood Theatre has created, produced and toured award-winning plays that have garnered Dora Mavor Moore, Chalmers, Trillium and Governor General’s awards. The company is helmed by Artistic Director Andrea Donaldson and Managing Director Beth Brown, whose leadership has received public acclaim for artistic excellence, the successful training and development of emerging female talent, and their on-going advocacy around gender equity.
