FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre

World-class arts and entertainment live in downtown St. Catharines at the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre.

Opened by the City in 2015, the 95,000-square-foot cultural complex and the programs it delivers are operated by its own, independent board.

With four state-of-the-art performance venues — Partridge Hall, Robertson Theatre, Recital Hall and The Film House — the centre has been a key driver of the City’s ongoing effort to spark a cultural renaissance in the community.

The centre has welcomed famed performers from the world over, lining them up alongside local talents, with offerings for young and old alike.

With an average of 1,000 events a year, there is plenty for you to enjoy at the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre.
