Theatre in Transit

Enjoy your commute with a fun, free theatrical experience on your way to the park!

Theatre in Transit is an immersive performance on wheels that picks up Guild Festival Theatre patrons at local transit hubs and takes them to Guild Park & Gardens. On the way, the bus becomes a stage with performances inspired by Brontë: The World Without and Jane Austen's Northanger Abbey. Shuttles run return trips on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from July 17 to August 23.

“One helluva fun, pop-up theatre experience” ~ Joshua Chong, The Toronto Star

How it Works

Once you select your performance date, book a seat on the Theatre in Transit shuttle - make sure they’re for the same date! In the event that you are not booked for that day’s mainstage performance, your Theatre in Transit ticket will be cancelled to allow other patrons to make use of that slot.

The week of your visit, you'll get an email with pickup location, bus details, and everything else you need to turn the commute into a performance.
