Crossroads Theatre (formerly Shakespeare in Action) was formed over 30 years ago with a vision of providing exposure of Shakespeare’s works to youth in Toronto. Today, Crossroads Theatre has matured into an award-winning theatre company that offers a wide variety of programming for students, teachers and the community, including workshops, mainstage productions, and day camp programs. With a dedicated home in the Weston neighbourhood, Crossroads has focused its attention on the local community, offering educational programming, artistic development opportunities, and professional theatre performances for free or at an accessible cost.
Crossroads Theatre tells universal human stories that reflect our audiences; we increase access to, and appreciation for, professional theatre; and we act as an incubator for new playwrights, actors, and theatre technicians.
