The stage is set with vintage furniture including a piano, chairs, and a grandfather clock. An audience is seated on both sides in front of the stage, with some people wearing face masks. Beams of stage light illuminate the scene from above, and additional audience members can be seen on a balcony level in the background.

Crow’s Takes Flight Campaign

A $7 million campaign to power bold new works, transform our spaces, and secure our future.

Donate to the Campaign

Why Now?

Over the past few years, Crow’s Theatre has grown with vision and momentum. This season alone, more than 125,000 people will experience our work—on our stages at Streetcar Crowsnest, across Toronto, and on international stages. 

We’ve premiered new Canadian works, built lasting collaborations, and brought acclaimed productions to wider audiences. Crow’s has become a vital force in Toronto’s cultural life—and we’re just getting started. 

Crow’s Takes Flight is a $7 million campaign to match our ambition—to build the infrastructure, resources, and long-term stability that will sustain our growth and deepen our impact. With 75% of our goal already raised, we’re now inviting our closest supporters to help bring this vision fully to life. 

What Your Support Will Make Possible:
