Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre
The Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre produces 10 plays on two stages, a regional tour, a wide range of youth programming and two festivals: Pimootayowin: A Festival of New Work (founded in 2021) and North America's second-largest Fringe, the Winnipeg Fringe Theatre Festival (founded in 1988). Attendance for Royal MTC programming averages 300,000 each year, and many Manitobans also support the organization with donations and volunteer time. Under the leadership of Artistic Director Kelly Thornton and Executive Director Evan Klassen, Royal MTC remains Manitoba's flagship theatre.
