The Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre John Hirsch Mainstage is a National Historic site recognized for its contribution to Canadian theatre and for its unique Brutalist architecture. Facility tours provide a look behind the scenes at Royal MTC to gain a unique perspective on how we produce the plays you see on stage. Tours may visit the carpentry shop, wardrobe, props department, and more!
We welcome all community members, but our heritage building was unfortunately not designed for accessibility of mobility devices in all areas. We can accommodate by taking alternate paths on certain days, but please let us know in advance! In 2026/27, tours will begin between 10/10:30am and 1:30/2pm on specific dates. We can adjust the tour length or focus to suit your needs. Please stand by for dates - we will post them before the end of September! All tour participants must wear close-toed shoes, and a face mask if you have symptoms of illness to help keep our production teams healthy. If you are ill, we ask that you not attend. To book a tour for a school or educational group, please contact Ksenia Broda-Milian, Education & Community Engagement Manager at 204 956 1340 ext 221 or kbrodamilian@royalmtc.ca (preferred).
