A gem in the Vancouver theatre scene

We aspire to delight, provoke and stimulate dialogue by producing theatre that rigorously explores the spiritual aspects of human existence.

Pacific Theatre (“PT” to our friends)

Founded in 1984 by Ron Reed and a group of passionate artists, Pacific Theatre was established with the mission to create a professional theatre company where artists could explore meaningful work through the lens of their Christian faith. From these humble beginnings, we have grown into an enduring force in Vancouver’s theatre scene.

 

Our Mission and Vision

We exist to serve Christ in our community by creating theatre with spiritual, relational, financial and artistic integrity. A spirit animates our programming that reaches toward the most fundamental human questions: What is our place? What is our purpose? How should we live? And while the company is driven by shared beliefs, the universality of these questions and generosity of Pacific Theatre itself means that faith is not a prerequisite to access, engage with, and enjoy its creations.

 

Leadership and Growth

In 2020, after 37 years of dedicated service, Ron retired and long-time PT artist Kaitlin Williams began her tenure as Pacific’s Artistic Director. Under Kaitlin’s leadership, Pacific has continued to expand its mandate: developing collaborations with other theatres in the city, supporting guest producers and our own programming, and continuing to seek out stories that challenge, uplift, and expand the horizons of our passionate audience.
