The Studio (Nathan Cohen) Theatre
The Studio (Nathan Cohen) Theatre is an 115-seat, black box style studio. This room is used as both a rehearsal hall and a theatre. It comes with a small lighting and sound system and pull-out bleacher seating for 115 kids or 90 adults. This room is available throughout the year in and around our programming. We do, however, use our Studio every Saturday (daytime) for our own YPT Drama School.
The Theatre Lobbies
The Theatre Lobbies are located on all four floors of the building and can be used for receptions and events, workshops, classes or meetings. The Production Shops are located in the basement onsite in our own building. We have the ability to build full production shows, including scenery, props, and wardrobe.
Rental Rates
The Rental Rates vary depending on the type of event and amount of days you will be using our facilities. We have special rates for not-for-profit and community groups and our friends with the TDSB – and standard rates for commercial groups. Rental rates do not include additional labour charges for technical and front of house personnel. We also have the ability to sell your tickets through our box office.
