MontrealTheatreHub.com is a labour of love, birthed from a profound passion for the stage arts and for the people that make it happen.
My initial idea for the site came from what was a perceived gap in the Montreal English theatre scene – a need for up-to-date, freely accessible, and relevant industry information as an artist and an audience member. Suggestively named, the Hub was then conceived to be a centralized source of content for members of the local performing arts community at large, serving as an independent newscast, a comprehensive guide to shows, and a virtual home for us to unapologetically discuss all things theatre around town.
Connectivity is at the heart of the Hub; we’re here to shine a light on the creative individuals and companies that ignite stages across Montreal and contribute towards the cultural development of our vibrant city. Our mission resides not only in strengthening the ties among existing members of the community, but in reaching and inspiring new audiences to awaken to the magic of the theatre.
This site is a love letter to each and every single one of you and I hope you find in it a source of excitement, education, and enlightenment.
All my love!
