Centrepointe Theatre History

Centrepointe Theatre’s grand opening took place on May 3, 1988, starring “local boy” and internationally renowned entertainer, impressionist Rich Little. Since then the theatre has hosted an extensive list of truly great artists performing to sold-out houses, including Sir Peter Ustinov, Christopher Plummer, Liona Boyd, Sarah McLachlan, Bruce Cockburn, Blue Rodeo, the Barenaked Ladies, Kids in the Hall, the Rankins, Leahy, Lyle Lovett, the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra, Harlem Gospel Choir and a great many others.

Nestled in the heart of the City of Ottawa, this 966 world-class facility is a community treasure. Our mandate is to encourage the development of the performing arts by providing facilities and services, and to entertain and enlighten audiences by presenting Canadian and international artists and attractions. Theatre events are provided by by three types of presenters: Front and Centre presentations (curated and presented by the theatre), commercial presenters and local producers.

Centrepointe is home to several area performing arts companies, including Orpheus Musical Theatre Society, the Savoy Society of Ottawa, GOYA, Suzart Productions, and Les Petits Ballets.

The multiple award-winning Centrepointe Theatre Volunteer Company operates in partnership with professional theatre staff and links the theatre and its artists to the community. Over 200 dedicated individuals contribute their energy and creativity to make the theatre and its shows more accessible and affordable, by donating time and skills to stage, house and creative resources crews. Since 1988, CTVC volunteers have donated services worth over $1.5 million and are among Centrepointe Theatre’s most valued assets.

Centrepointe Theatre is owned and operated by the City of Ottawa. Theatre staff also manage The Chambers in Ben Franklin Place, and the Orléans Theatre.
