FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre

Opened in the mid-2010s as the cultural anchor of downtown St. Catharines, the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre brings together four distinct venues under one roof: the large Partridge Hall, the flexible Robertson Theatre, an intimate Recital Hall, and The Film House cinema. Together they present an eclectic year-round program spanning touring musicians, classical and world music, theatre, dance, and arthouse film. Its central location makes it a natural hub for an evening out and anchors the surrounding restaurant and gallery district.
