Prairie Theatre Exchange, Theatre and theatrical company in downtown Winnipeg, Canada
Prairie Theatre Exchange is a theatre venue located on the third floor of Portage Place mall in downtown Winnipeg. The facility houses a main stage and a studio space where professional theatrical productions take place.
The organization began in 1973 as Manitoba Theatre Workshop and relocated to its current home in 1989. The move brought with it a newly built theatre featuring 323 seats.
The theatre serves as a gathering place for audiences interested in contemporary dramatic works and Canadian storytelling. It functions as a hub where local creative communities connect through live performance.
The venue provides indoor bicycle parking for visitors and offers opportunities to volunteer with shifts typically lasting between 90 minutes and three hours. This makes it easy to plan your visit or get involved with the organization.
The theatre has presented more than 340 productions since its founding, with nearly half being world premieres of new Canadian works. This focus on bringing fresh voices to the stage sets it apart from many other regional theatres.
