Theatre by the Bay

Theatre by the Bay's mission is to produce high-quality professional theatre productions at an affordable price, in Barrie. Indeed, prior to the establishment of Theatre by the Bay, residents of Central Ontario would have to look southward to Toronto for professional theatre and such cultural events.

It is also our goal to have a positive impact on the region's economy by hiring performers and technical staff, wherever possible, from the local area. We will strive to increase job opportunities in the region, generate support for the arts by businesses and individuals locally and across the province and promote arts education.

In addition, we are confident that our high calibre theatrical productions will increase the volume of visitors to Barrie and will positively impact the region's tourism and service industries.
