Toronto Centre for the Arts

“The Toronto Centre for the Arts, previously known as the Ford Centre for the Performing Arts, is a performing arts centre in the former city of North York in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It opened in 1993 as the North York Performing Arts Centre and was designed by Canadian architect Eberhard Zeidler for musicals, theatre productions and other performing arts. It houses three theatres:

– the Main Stage Theatre with 1,727 seats
– the George Weston Recital Hall with 1,036 seats
– a multi-purpose 200-seat studio theatre

The facility regularly rents its lobby, piano lounge, VIP suites, and rehearsal hall for various events. The Main Stage was home to the Dancap Productions Canadian production of Jersey Boys from August 2008 until August 2010. Prior to Jersey Boys, the facility was the home of the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Sunset Boulevard and a 1993 production of Show Boat that transferred to Broadway. It has since hosted several productions, including the musical Million Dollar Quartet.”
