Lunchbox Theatre

Since 1975, Lunchbox Theatre has been motivated by our founders’ desire “to present live theatre during the lunch hour to downtown shoppers and workers.” This simple yet profound statement from the founders continues to inspire us as we pursue our Vision:

To provide lunch for the soul—nourish the community through meaningful and uplifting entertainment.

We hope to be the best part of your day by executing our Mission:

Lunchbox Theater presents engaging, accessible one-act plays primarily at lunchtime, focusing on new Canadian works that examine and explore socially relevant issues. We seek to provide memorable experiences that reflect today’s realities and expand our understanding of life. Lunchbox is a hub for artistic learning — for audiences, artists as well as new plays

Our work reflects our core Values:

We are accessible, inclusive and anti-oppressive

We celebrate everyone’s stories to foster understanding

We engage—with playfulness and joy

We are accountable, respectful and sustainable
