- Sudbury Theatre Centre
The Sudbury Theatre Centre is a professional
theatre company, located in Sudbury,Ontario .Following an Ontario government report in 1967 which recommended the creation of a theatre company in Sudbury, local arts patrons Sonja Dunn, Carolyn Fouriezos, Bill Hart, Bob Remnant and Peg Roberts raised funds to bring the Gryphon Theatre Company of Barrie to Sudbury for a production of
Neil Simon 's "Come Blow Your Horn ". That production was staged atLaurentian University 's Fraser Auditorium in May of1970 .Following that production, the Sudbury Theatre Centre was officially incorporated on
September 14 ,1971 . Over the next number of years, the STC staged plays and children's theatre workshops at Fraser Auditorium,Cambrian College and the Inco Club.In
1980 , the city of Sudbury donated a parcel of municipal land on Shaughnessy Street near Civic Square to the STC for the construction of their own permanent theatre. Construction began in July 1981, and the new facility was officially opened at the launch of the company's 1982 theatre season.The company's current artistic director is George Pothitos.
