Our plays address issues that resonate with today’s youth, encouraging them to reflect on themselves and their place within the community. Our commitment to excellence has earned us many accolades, including 48 Dora nominations and a total of 14 Awards. Roseneath was also a recent finalist for the Ontario Premier’s Award for Excellence in the Arts. Based in Toronto, the theatre’s mandate is to educate and promote the public’s appreciation of the aesthetic arts by providing theatrical performances in educational institutions, community centres and public places across Ontario, Canada, the United States and Europe. Roseneath is a professional theatre company delivering artistically excellent original Canadian productions that engage and inspire young audiences. Our plays address provocative issues relevant to today’s youth encouraging them to reflect on themselves and their place within the community. The impact of our collaborative work is immediate and inclusive. We encourage playwrights to explore themes and situations that express as much of that complex life as possible and then distill it into an accessible theatrical form. Founded in 1983, Roseneath Theatre gives up to 300 performances per year to approximately 100,000 young people, making us the largest professional touring theatre in Ontario. We are the only company to have visited every school district in Ontario.
