Reshaping The Future

Welcome to Town Hall 1873 Theatre’s “Reshaping The Future” Fundraising Campaign!

Join other community supporters!

What is “Reshaping The Future”?  Thanks to the Government of Canada and the Government of Ontario, Town Hall 1873 has received 73% of the funding needed to complete renovations to further improve the accessibility, sustainability and resiliency of the building’s 150 year old infrastructure.  Work on this 4-year $770,000 project has already begun and will continue through 2026.  We are now raising the remaining funds, approximately $250,000, through our “Reshaping The Future” campaign in order to complete all projects.

Your donation will go directly into installing a new, fully accessible elevator to provide access to all levels of the building including stage level, an upgraded kitchen, improvements to the greenroom and patrons lounge, restoration of the Simcoe Street marquee, upgraded sound equipment for the theatre and ensuring the iconic Bell Tower is restored and returned to its rightful, historic location above the building.

Town Hall 1873 Theatre celebrates 150 Years in 2023!

Please make a gift today to help us set the stage for the next 150 years!

Thank You For Your Support!
