About the venue
Algonquin Commons Theatre is the performance venue at Algonquin College's Ottawa campus. Opened in 2012, it hosts music, comedy, guest speakers, dance and theatre, giving audiences access to a broad programme in a dedicated stage setting. Its position within the student-centre building connects public entertainment with the cultural activity of the college.
The range of genres is central to the theatre's character. A comedy night, a dance production and a guest speaker can each give the stage a different purpose, while the dedicated performance environment remains familiar to returning audiences. Its place in the college's student-centre building also connects public entertainment with campus life, giving Ottawa visitors a venue where a broad cultural programme and the activity of an educational community meet.
