Background:
As a focus of Canadian performing arts, the Centre takes a leadership role in providing Toronto residents, visitors and diverse cultural communities with a professional, service-oriented theatrical and entertainment facility. Varied and high quality cultural, artistic and public events will be attracted, facilitated and presented continually.
Initiated in 1967 as Toronto's Centennial Project, the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts opened its door in 1970. The Theatre, as it was originally called, was renovated in the early eighties with the generous support of Mrs. Bluma Appel, a major patron of the arts. The theatre was renamed in her honour.
After the death of Canadian actress Jane Mallett in 1984, a group of friends organized a fundraising campaign to renovate the Jane Mallett Theatre, originally called the Town Hall. |
