Michael J Fox Theatre

About the venue

Michael J Fox Theatre is a professional community theatre built as part of Burnaby South Secondary School. Opened in 1993, it provides a dedicated performance setting for the Burnaby community and visiting productions. The venue's combination of a school-campus location and a public theatre programme gives audiences a place to share live performance close to the surrounding neighbourhood.

Its professional community role makes the theatre a shared destination for people who live and learn in Burnaby as well as visitors attending a show. The school-campus setting and dedicated auditorium bring education and live performance into close proximity, while the programme gives the room a public cultural life of its own. A visit is therefore grounded in a neighbourhood setting, with the stage connecting local participation to the work of visiting artists and production groups.
