Accessibility Information
RTW is as scent free as possible we ask all of our production staff, patrons and performers to respect this.
Regretfully, the Mainline Theatre is not wheelchair-accessible. There is a single step through a glass door into the stairwell, and then there are 25 steps (with a right hand rail) from there up to the theatre floor. There are 3 single-stall gender-neutral bathrooms on the premises, but none accommodate wheelchair-users.
Accessibility is a priority for us and we are striving towards a festival everyone can attend. Look for new wheelchair accessible and ASL + LSQ translated programming in the upcoming months.
If you wish to see a show but don't have the funds, we have volunteer opportunities!

Coming Soon
INSIDE MADPOETIX STUDIO is revolutionizing our Soirées Intimes Series by allowing the audience to get to know the feature performer through an interview during the show live. The artist will be interviewed by our host Kym Dominique Ferguson @Mrkdferguson. This is a one of a kind experience. There will be 8 Open Mic spots available for all genres: spoken word, poetry, comedy, singers, clowns, dancers, you name it we welcome it. They are each given a 5 min timeslot.
"Le Collectif Les Tisseuses s’est formé à partir de l’envie de rassembler des femmes et des personnes non binaires autour du jeu théâtral en décloisonnant les pratiques et les imaginaires. Il est composé de huit artistes aux origines, pratiques et vécus multiples.
Les Tisseuses ouvrent leur espace créatif avec une étape de la pièce Notre tour c’est quand?, une proposition scénique intimiste.
La pièce raconte l'histoire des funérailles de Pilar, la matriarche d'un quartier. On y retrouve des femmes aux horizons pluriels venues honorer la mémoire de celle qui a su entrelacer leurs existences en leur offrant la possibilité d’assembler leurs histoires. À travers ce moment de deuil, se tissent des liens qui transcendent les frontières de leur famille, de leur quartier et de leur pays, offrant un portrait poignant de la force des relations féminines et de la sororité.
En se rassemblant à la croisée des cycles de vies, les personnages que vous allez rencontrer s’adressent des questions millénaires, et cheminent au cœur de leurs vérités en nous rappelant qu’il n’est de refuge plus solide que celui de nos solidarités.
La pièce s’achèvera par un échange entre les artistes et le public, permettant de recueillir les impressions de ce dernier. Modéré par la directrice artistique du festival.
The Montreal Clown Festival is pleased to return to its roots at the home of the St. Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival to present a cabaret of new work, “New Recipes” featuring 12 brave clowns.
Under the direction of Gabe McKinney (Director, Old God; Speigleworld; Dell-Arte graduate and guest teacher), 12 performers developed short new works for the opening night of the 4-day Clown festival after a same-day, high-stakes workshop.
