The Seaway Valley TheatreOur base of operations is the Seaway Valley Theatre, a performance, event, and meeting venue located at 30 Sixth Street East in Cornwall. The former home of the Cornwall and District Navy Veterans Association, we acquired the building in June of 2020 and have since repurposed it for our needs.
The upper floor contains two spacious, wheelchair-friendly rooms with free Wi-Fi. One is the Ianni Performance Hall, so named for the SVTC’s most generous benefactor. This is where we have our smaller productions, rehearsals, and our theatre camps for children. The other is our Event Room, which is our lobby during performances. It is also used for rehearsals and other theatre related activities. |

The theatre is four blocks north of Cornwall's downtown core, close to many of the city's best known restaurants and shops. Plentiful free parking is available both in front of and behind the building.
Both rooms on the upper floor are now available for rental as venues for community events, meetings, performances, private parties, and more. They also have full access to a bar area for which we have a liquor license. If you are planning a function and need a central and reasonably priced location for it, we invite you to host it in our building. Please visit www.seawayvalleytheatre.ca and the theatre's Facebook page for more information.

The SVTC has recently been given a $148,300 Resilient Communities Fund grant from the Ontario Trillium Foundation’s Resilient Communities Fund. This grant was used for the installation of new house lighting on the main floor of the Seaway Valley Theatre, which was completed in July. This will give theatre lovers in Cornwall and SDG&A a more comfortable experience for many years to come. It's also funded the purchase of a new, twenty-four unit wireless microphone system, which was bought in June. We now have a more stable and secure layer of tech infrastructure which will greatly improve the sonic quality of our performances.
"The Seaway Valley Theatre Company is an important asset to our Arts & Culture community throughout Stormont, Dundas & South Glengarry. This grant will help SVTC to present world class events here at home in Cornwall. Congratulations to all of the entertainers, organizers and supporters with this new upgrade to the lighting systems,” said Nolan Quinn, MPP for Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry. |

We’re so grateful to the OTF for believing in us and this investment in our community.”
