At the Gladstone, we believe that independent theatre is essential to Ottawa’s cultural landscape. Our mission is to provide a dynamic, affordable venue where diverse theatre companies can bring their unique visions to life.
We are guided by our values—inclusivity, safety, collaboration, sustainability, and resilience—and the needs of our community. These values ensure that our theatre is not just a stage, but a home to all who seek to explore and engage with the arts. Whether it is a professional production, a community show starring our neighbours, or a touring show like Ottawa has never seen, the Gladstone provides an inclusive and transformative space for audiences to experience something together.
As a hub for Ottawa’s independent theatre scene, the Gladstone relies on a blend of ticket sales, rentals, grants, and the generosity of donors. Every contribution allows us to support more artists and stage more shows in pursuit of artistic enrichment and community engagement.
The Gladstone is a space where stories come alive. Whether you’re an artist, volunteer, or patron, you’re part of our story. Join us in celebrating fostering Ottawa’s vibrant independent theatre community.
