Why Membership?
A donation supports the mission. A membership makes you part of it
By becoming a member of Theatre by the Bay, you’re joining a passionate community of theatre lovers who believe in the power of storytelling to unite, uplift, and inspire—right here in Barrie. Your membership supports artist development, bold programming, and education initiatives across our season—and connects you directly to the future of our company.
Every membership strengthens our capacity to:
• Develop emerging artists and producers
• Host year-round theatre labs and readings
• Deliver professional productions to local audiences
• Make theatre more accessible to families, youth, and underserved communities
Membership is more than a transaction. It’s a partnership.
Welcome to the Theatre by the Bay family. Play On.
