The Factory Theatre was the first theatre to declare that it would only develop, produce, and present Canadian plays. It is a hive of theatrical activity that presents cutting-edge Canadian theatre and is dedicated to diversity in its portrayal of the Canadian experience in its broadest sense. The Factory Theatre was founded in 1970. For the first time, original Canadian theatre made a breakthrough in a field dominated by British and American playwrights. “The home of the Canadian playwright” is how the group is known. The Factory has taken the lead in encouraging diversity in theatre, reflecting the Canadian experience from various views, in addition to its dedication to original Canadian theatre.
