An initiative started by the patrons of theater, the Manitoba Theatre Centre is a not-for-profit organization promoting art and culture in the city. The organization offers two theater stages, which host various events. These stages can accommodate around two-fifty people each and are designed with the latest technological assistance. Local events like festivals and other such drama fairs are conducted here on a regular basis.

Since its inception, Pantages Playhouse Theatre has entertained audiences with diverse genres of theatre, be it professional or amateur. This grand stage has been graced by legendary performers with performances ranging from music performances, ballet shows, discourses and, even, political causes. As the founder Alexander Pantage had rightly quoted, this versatile place does not leave anyone disappointed!

Also known as Walkers Theatre (after its original owner), this place is a true witness to Canada's fine arts. For over 100 years, Burton Cummings Theatre for the Performing Arts has hosted live theater, vaudeville, concerts, and silent films. Cummings donates a part of his concerts' earnings for repayment of the theater's debt. Help sustain this grand theater by catching an event here.

A part of the Manitoba Theatre Centre (MTC), the Warehouse Theatre offers an additional stage facility. Officially known as the Tom Hendry Warehouse, the venue is administered by the MTC. This Warehouse Theatre hosts a variety of theatrical plays, dramas and similar acts, and it also stages live events. Furnished with state of the art audio facilities, this place with a seating capacity for around three-hundred people is the most preferred choice for local gatherings and festivals.

A marvel in itself, the fascinating Rainbow Stage would not have existed if the Winnipeg's Musician Association would not have come together for the necessity of an event stage. A result of experimental architecture, the Rainbow Stage was built in 1952 as an outdoor stage for theater and music concerts. The assembly of lights put on center stage resembled a rainbow and so this incidental wonder came to be known as the Rainbow Stage. This ecstatic stage set in open air, has been playing a host to various important events since then and has been witnessing a crowd not less than 2600. Music concerts, large scale live performances, massive fairs and festivals, are all a frequent happening at this notable attraction of Winnipeg.
