Here For Now Theatre is Stratford’s independent “off-Broadway theatre”. We produce a season of affordable, accessible one-act plays showcasing Canadian writers, actors, directors and more. Our work tends to explore stories not typically seen on larger, mainstream stages, and runs the gamut from laugh-out-loud comedy to not-a-dry-eye-in-the-house drama.
“Here for Now continues to attract world-class acting and directing talent and is a major outlet for new plays by Canadian playwrights. By any measure, Here For Now has established itself as a vital part of Stratford’s theatrical landscape.” StratfordFestivalReviews.com
Our micro black-box theatre is located at 24 St. Andrews Street in the heart of downtown Stratford.
Full details of our current season & tickets are available at HereForNowTheatre.com. Tickets are also available by calling 519.272.4368.
We’d love to welcome you to the theatre!
