Our Mission

Toronto is home to Indigenous Canadians and people from around the world, and Pleiades gives home to their theatre. Whether as translations, adaptations, or original works, join us and explore great plays that raise the curtain on some of the rich cultures that make up Canada today. Everything at Pleiades is about cultural encounters and bridging divides. What could be more Canadian?

Also, through training, workshops and outreach, we make a concerted effort to ensure that the creative process of theatre is accessible to young people of various cultural backgrounds. We do this through our bilingual educational program, Speak the Speech! This work is integral to our operation and our philosophy.
