Most people love to be entertained and what better way of having a enjoyable night out in great surroundings than a visit to the Great Canadian Theatre Company based in Ottawa, Ontario.
The Great Canadian Theatre Company, which is the oldest professional Canadian theater company was built in 1975. It was the brain child of professors and students from the Carleton University in Ottawa. The theatre is located on Gladstone Avenue in the heart of Ottawa's Italian village. The Great Canadian Theatre Company has a seating capacity that will accommodate two hundred and thirty people. Part of the theatre's raison d'etre is to provide authentic Canadian productions for the people of Ottawa.
The Great Canadian Theatre Company has a restaurant attached and it is a great place to eat lunch befor a matinee performance or to enjoy a late, relaxing dinner after the evening performance. The stage is small and this gives the theatre and intimate atmosphere and feel. The company also presents musical performances; during these evenings a packed audience revels in listening to the sounds of some of Canada's finest folk musicians. The theatre is meant to be for the whole community and on Sunday's it offers a pay what you can afford entrance fee which means that some people who might not otherwise be able to afford a visit to the theatre can enjoy what it has to offer.
This year the company has updated its image and relocated from Gladstone Avenue to Wellington street in the West of Ottawa. The move has given the company increased seating capacity and is spread over three floors with the second floor showing exhibits that are related to the current performance.
