Message from Bill Millerd, Artistic Managing Director

Welcome to the Arts Club Theatre Company and to the Artistic Director’s Circle (ADC). Become a member of this elite group of theatre patrons who love live theatre and appreciate the needs of a dynamic, not- for-profit theatre company. Join us as we welcome the visionary artists—the playwrights, designers, and directors— who create the powerful, intelligent, poignant, and entertaining work for our Granville Island and Stanley Industrial Alliance Stages. Meet these diversely talented individuals every opening night throughout the season, and share your questions and thoughts over a glass of wine in a warm and intimate setting.

I am delighted to announce new levels of support and benefits that will enhance your connection to the Arts Club and allow us to invest directly into the art we create. I look forward to seeing you at the theatre!
