877 Yonge Street Construction Updates

We’re building a theatre at 877 Yonge Street!

Now that the construction of our new theatre and office space at 877 Yonge Street is well underway, things are moving quickly. We hope you love a work-in-progress as much as we do. Follow along as we post monthly updates.

July 2024

We have officially broken ground on creating the theatre, offices and rehearsal studio at 877 Yonge Street. Having completed the demolition and asbestos removal earlier in the spring, it is full steam ahead to create the most accessible, affordable, and well-equipped theatre of its kind in Toronto.

Performance Hall

After the demolition work was completed, we found some water behind the drywall, which is to be expected with a building of this age. Classic. While we move ahead with mechanical, electrical, and plumbing rough-ins, we’re also working hard to address the leaks, springs, and drips that have made themselves known.

Office and Rehearsal Studio

The construction team has started with replacing the ventilation system and ductwork. The team raised the pre-construction ceiling by nearly three feet, and we were delighted to discover its full height—dancers using the studio will be happy, too!
