Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre

The Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre is a theatre building and performance venue with two stages in Winnipeg. The main stage accommodates around 785 people, while a separate space hosts experimental and smaller productions.

The centre was created in 1958 through the merger of two local theatre groups and became Canada's first regional theatre house. It later received a royal title in recognition of its importance.

The theatre stages productions with artists from Canada and around the world, serving as a key venue for theatrical arts in the region. Visitors experience a varied program that includes both classic and contemporary works.

The theatre is centrally located downtown and easy to reach, with seating in both performance spaces. Visiting works best during the performance season, which runs through the fall and winter months.

The building was designed in a distinctive architectural style from the 1960s, featuring bold concrete forms and clean lines. This style is characteristic of cultural buildings from that era and still defines the space today.
