About
Théâtre Sainte-Catherine is an independent theatre and performance space at 264 Rue Sainte-Catherine Est, in the heart of Montreal's Plateau-Mont-Royal neighbourhood. It is a place to see live stage work, from comedy and improvisation to a range of other productions.
What to expect
The theatre is best known for its comedy and improv programming. Regular offerings include Sunday Night Improv and Improv with the Bard(s), along with comedy shows and workshops for people who want to try the craft themselves. Alongside these, the venue presents a variety of other live stage productions throughout the year.
The programming is multilingual. Shows are staged in English, French and Spanish, and the calendar includes events such as Espanglish and a Spanish-language show, so visitors with different language preferences can usually find something to follow.
A night out
The theatre has its own bar, which makes it a comfortable choice for an evening that starts with a show and continues over a drink. It suits both people who come mainly for the stage and those who come for the nightlife around it.
The venue is listed among the performance halls of Montreal's Quartier des Spectacles and is accessible to people with reduced mobility. For current show times, ticket information and details of upcoming productions, the theatre's own website is the most reliable source, and its phone line can answer specific questions.
