The Theatre Network Society is a not-for-profit, charitable arts organization that produces contemporary Canadian theatre and shares the stories of Canadian playwrights from our home, The Roxy Theatre, that is owned and operated by Theatre Network.
Theatre Network is dedicated to producing and facilitating the development of work that is both challenging and engaging, We are unafraid to question the world we live in, and provide an unexpected and exciting experience for our audiences. Theatre Network tells Canadian stories by Canadian artists. Our continuing commitment is towards work that tells important stories even if they may be controversial. The Roxy is also home to our sister company Nextfest, as well as to the Miller Art Gallery, which operates three gallery halls within our building.
The affairs of the Society are governed by a Board of Directors that works closely with the Artistic and Executive Director. The Board meets ten times a year on Monday evenings, with additional committee meetings as needed.
Theatre Network is seeking nominations for potential Board Directors to begin in September 2025. Directors will be elected by the membership to a three-year term, for up to two consecutive terms. We are seeking at least three, and up to four new Directors this year to balance the knowledge, capacities and demographics of the Board.

The Board would also welcome nominations with skills or expertise in fundraising, law, communications, government relations/advocacy as well as past Board Chair or leadership experience. Any potential Board member should be familiar with theatre or share a passion for the arts as well as, have the ability to personally give from a charitable financial perspective to the organization.
