Resources

Current facilities in the Department of Theatre include:

The Department of Theatre is housed in the Centre for Film and Theatre (CFT), which it shares with the Department of Film. Opened in 1990, CFT boasts an array of modern, well-equipped facilities for performers, designers and technicians, including acting studios, design labs as well as carpentry and costume shops. The centerpiece of the building is the Joseph G. Green Studio Theatre, a fully equipped black box studio theatre with flexible seating for up to 130 people. In the same building complex, the Program has access to the much larger Burton Auditorium, an amphitheatre-style performance venue with a seating capacity of 600. Additionally, students have access to a spacious atrium area and cafeteria facility, shared by the adjacent Joan & Martin Goldfarb Centre for Fine Arts housing the Department of Visual Arts.

In 2006, York University’s newest fine arts building, Accolade East (ACE), opened adjacent to the Centre for Film and Theatre. This building houses the Department of Music, Department of Dance and Art Gallery of York University. ACE provides the state-of-the-art, 360-seat Sandra Faire and Ivan Fecan Theatre, a carpentry shop, and two large acting studios equipped with sound and audio visual for theatre.

The Graduate Program in Theatre also has the use of two rehearsal/performance studios in nearby Atkinson College with lighting grid and sound system. Students are given access cards to the ACE acting studios and Atkinson studios for private or group rehearsals or other studio work when not in use for classes. The three acting studios in the Centre for Film and Theatre are also available for reservations.

Additionally, the program’s set, costume and prop-building facilities as well as our wardrobe inventory rival those of many of the best professional facilities in Canada.
