The theatre is in Centretown and is easy to reach from many parts of the city. Since several companies share the stage, checking the schedule in advance is a good idea as show times can vary from week to week.
The Gladstone Theatre is one of the few venues in Ottawa where multiple resident companies jointly decide how to use and schedule the stage. This means that on any given week, the same room can host a choir, a comedy, and a new play, all produced by different groups.
