Canadian Stage

On June 21st, we welcomed donors, board members, and special guests to Evergreen Brick Works for the return of our annual Gala, TheatreBall'22!  

We marked our return with the creation of an award to recognize exceptional business and industry leaders in Toronto who have made meaningful contributions to the advancement and integration of arts and culture in our vibrant city. Canadian Stage was thrilled to present the inaugural Canadian Stage Creative City Builder Award to Babak and Tooran Mortazavi, founders and Chairman and Vice-Chairman of TAS.
