Union Theatre

Peterborough, Italy

The Union Theatre was a theatre in Peterborough, Ontario, Canada that existed from 1989 to 1996. The theatre was established by local theatre artists in 1989. It served as an arts collective serving local and regional theatre, visual arts and musical artists with a focus on helping emerging artists

find a place to showcase their talents. The space was primarily a performance space "black box" style theatre but often played host to a variety of performance and installation works. As a "collective" the space was run by a revolving membership of artists, some of whom have gone on to open larger, more mainstream theatres in Canada, including Robert Winslow, one of the space's founding members who in 1991 started Fourth Line Theatre in Millbrook, Ontario.
