About Betty Oliphant Theatre

The Betty Oliphant Theatre, located at 404 Jarvis Street, Toronto, is an intimate performance venue closely tied to Canada's National Ballet School (NBS). Opened in 1988 and named after NBS co-founder Betty Oliphant, the theatre serves as both a professional training and performance space for emerging dancers. With a seating capacity of around 265 to 280, it offers a Georgian Court-style auditorium with excellent sightlines, ensuring audiences feel close to the stage no matter where they sit. Though modest in size compared to Toronto's larger arts venues, its proscenium arch stage, full fly system, and professional-grade facilities make it a versatile space for dance, theatre, and music productions. The theatre retains the red-brick Victorian charm of its exterior while housing a modern auditorium inside, reflecting the balance of history and innovation central to the school's legacy. It frequently hosts student showcases, independent productions, and festivals such as dance: made in canada/fait au canada, making it a key hub for Toronto's dance and performing arts community.
