Crossroads Theatre is a professional theatre company and registered charity that operates from our studio theatre home in northwest Toronto at Artscape Weston Common. Crossroads produces a year-round season of plays and programming, along with workshops and after school programs for youth in our community.

Crossroads Theatre is fortunate to call Toronto’s Weston Community our home. We acknowledge that this is land that has been stewarded for millennia by Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, the Wendat, and countless nations both recorded and unrecorded. This land is now home to many diverse nations including First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. Toronto is covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit and we acknowledge the treaties and agreements our Government has failed to uphold. We stand with Indigenous peoples who face systemic violence, oppression and injustice and we thank them for their stewardship of the land we now call home.  

The Anishinabe word for the Humber river, Cobechenonk, roughly translates to “Leave the canoes and go back” referring to a place where travellers might stop and rest along the Carrying Place Trail.  Where folks come together to rest, they share and trade in many things, including stories and crafts. Though we’ve only been in Weston since 2019, we are a part of a legacy of storytelling in this place.  And it is with this in mind that we commit to breaking down the structures that contribute to the erasure of Indigenous culture, by creating accessible spaces for Indigenous voices, Black and Brown voices, Newcomer, Youth, Queer, and other marginalized voices, to be heard and celebrated.
