The Oakville Centre for the Performing Arts is the cultural anchor of Old Oakville — a professionally operated performing arts venue at 130 Navy Street with a 700-seat main stage, a more intimate Black Box Studio Theatre, and a year-round programming calendar that consistently draws audiences from across the Halton Region and the western GTA.

The programming scope is genuinely wide for a community-scale venue: Broadway touring productions, classical music concerts by visiting ensembles and soloists, comedy shows, family programming, local theatre productions, and special events that use the venue’s technical capabilities for presentations and conferences. The venue is also host to performances by the Oakville Chamber Orchestra and seasonal productions by local performing arts organizations.

The Black Box Studio Theatre provides a more intimate performance setting — often used for experimental or smaller-scale productions where the proximity between performer and audience is part of the experience. The combination of main stage and studio space gives the Centre programming flexibility that single-format venues lack.

Checking the upcoming schedule at oakvillecentre.ca before visiting Oakville is worth doing — it’s common for visitors to discover a performance worth attending that happens to coincide with their waterfront visit. The Centre’s location on Navy Street, steps from the Oakville Harbour, makes pre-performance dinner at one of the Old Oakville restaurants a natural combination.

Tickets available online at oakvillecentre.ca or by phone. Parking is available in the surrounding downtown Oakville area.
