Actors Repertory Company
The Actors Repertory Company (ARC) is a Canadian registered charity (Business Registration Number: 894218619RR0001) focused on advancing education in the arts, specifically theatre, film, and drama. Founded in 1998, the Toronto-based organization operates as an artist-run theatre company dedicated to producing contemporary international plays rarely staged in Canada.

ARC’s mission centers on fostering the development of its resident artists, who lead all aspects of production—from curation and design to performance. The company emphasizes collaborative creation, aiming to produce works that reflect collective artistic vision rather than individual efforts. Its eclectic repertoire has earned fourteen Dora Mavor Moore Award nominations and two wins, recognizing excellence in Toronto’s performing arts scene.

Structured as a multi-disciplinary collective, ARC’s resident artists include performers, directors, designers, writers, musicians, and visual artists. The organization prioritizes mentorship and skill-building, supporting artists in refining their craft while engaging in community outreach and educational programming.

ARC maintains a commitment to introducing Canadian audiences to global theatrical works, often selecting material that challenges conventional narratives or explores underrepresented themes. Its productions emphasize innovative staging and interdisciplinary collaboration, blending traditional theatre with multimedia and experimental techniques.

As a registered charity, ARC relies on donations to fund its operations, workshops, and performances, with a focus on minimizing administrative burdens through partnerships with fundraising platforms like CanadaHelps. The company’s charitable activities align with its designation under the "Advancement of Education" category by the Canada Revenue Agency.
