Kanata Theatre is an all-volunteer community theatre company
We began in 1968 as a play reading group in a sleepy bedroom community. At that time, the town consisted of only a handful of houses, one public school, two gas stations, a post office and an A&P grocery store.
There are now over 500 members, and our season consists of 5 main stage plays, a holiday show, and a showcase production featuring our very talented children and youth program participants. Kanata Theatre also produces a summer festival of 10-minute plays.
Our Theatre
In 1996, after years of fundraising, Kanata Theatre opened the Ron Maslin Playhouse, a 350-seat theatre. Our facility is equipped with professional-level lighting, sound and set construction resources, which provide our patrons the best theatrical experience.
Kanata Theatre is run by an elected Board of Directors
All members are eligible to vote, and any member may stand for any office.
Kanata Theatre’s activities are governed by its By-Laws.
Kanata Theatre does not receive operating grants from any level of government. Its income is from ticket sales, membership fees and donations.
