Our donors have been with us from day one, but even we were blown away with how quickly (and generously!) you responded to our plan to build a small micro-theatre in downtown Stratford.

Thanks to every one of you, the new theatre will open this summer on time and on budget.

Your gifts have not only provided a new, permanent indoor home for Here For Now. They’ve also given the people of Stratford a wonderful new asset: a small, cozy performance space where we can enjoy the magic of theatre all year round.

Thank you.

THANK YOU! You’ve made a new theatre possible for Stratford

Heartfelt thanks to everyone who’s made made this project possible

The new theatre will feature the following named spaces, thanks to these generous sponsors:

The Sylvia Chrominska Lobby
The DJ Anderson Greenroom
The Pazzo Bar
The Lily Delina Stinson Ghostlight
The Hunter Agnew Vestibule

The performance space itself will also have a special name, and details are coming shortly. Thank you to Laura Dinner and Richard Rooney for the inspiration and generosity behind this naming project.
