Centre In The Square, Performing arts center in downtown Kitchener, Canada.
Centre In The Square is a performing arts center in downtown Kitchener, Ontario, with a main auditorium that seats over 2,000 people. The building houses a large stage and purpose-built facilities designed to host a wide range of live shows.
The center opened in 1980 as a purpose-built venue intended to give the Waterloo Region a permanent home for live performance. Over the following decades it went through renovation work to keep pace with changing needs and technical demands.
The venue brings together audiences from across the region for concerts, theatre nights, and dance shows throughout the year. It draws both local groups and international companies, making it a shared space where people come together around live performance.
The center is in the heart of downtown Kitchener and easy to reach on foot or by public transit from most parts of the city. Performances run year-round, so checking what is on before you go helps you make the most of a visit.
The venue has a program that lets visitors dedicate individual seats in the auditorium to a person of their choosing, leaving a small nameplate attached to the seat. This means some chairs carry personal inscriptions that audience members can spot when they sit down.
