Jane Mallett Theatre

Constructed in 1967 as Toronto’s Centennial Project, the St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts opened its doors in 1970. The building housed two auditoriums; The Theatre and The Town Hall. The early eighties saw The Theatre renovated with the generous support of the late Mrs. Bluma Appel, a major patron of the arts. It was renamed in her honour. In 1984, a group of friends of the late Canadian actress Jane Mallett organized a fundraising campaign to renovate the Town Hall, renaming it the Jane Mallett Theatre to commemorate her life and accomplishments.
