Factory Theatre - Mainspace
Factory Theatre has been a staple of the Toronto independent theatre scene since it's opening in 1983. It is actually two heritage buildings: a house built in 1869 by Irish immigrant John Mulvey, and an extension built on to the house by St. Mary's Catholic Parish in 1910.
Factory has been a Fringe venue since 2000, and has been the home of Next Stage since its inception in 2008. It houses two main venues: the Mainspace and the Studio. The Antechamber is also used for Next Stage.

Finding this venue
Enter this venue through the glass atrium, off of Adelaide Street West. Patrons can walk up three flights of stairs to the entrance of the theatre or take an elevator. Gender neutral washrooms are located on the second floor, adjacent to the entrance of the theatre. Accessible washrooms are also located on the second floor. Patrons with accessibility concerns are seated in the first rows so they don't have to climb any stairs.
