Centaur Theatre Company, Theatre company in Ville-Marie, Canada
Description
The Centaur Theatre Company operates two auditoriums of different sizes to present theatrical productions throughout the year. The spaces allow for both intimate and larger-scale performances tailored to various types of shows.
History
This company was founded in 1969 and moved into a historic building in 1974 that previously housed the Montreal Stock Exchange. Renovations completed in 1975 transformed it into the theatre space visitors see today.

The theatre is located on St François-Xavier in downtown Montreal and offers seasonal subscription options for regular visitors. Extended arts programming is available beyond standard theatrical performances.
Did you know?
The building dates to 1903 and was designed by American architect George B. Post, originally built to house the Montreal Stock Exchange. This transformation from financial center to arts venue gives the space a distinctive character shaped by its two very different lives.
