Named in honour of University of Toronto alumna and CDTPS benefactor, the Helen Gardiner Phelan Playhouse is located on the second floor of the University College Union (UC Union) building (79 St. George Street). The theatre has professional lighting and sound installations. It is primarily used by the Centre for Drama, Theatre & Performance Studies. The elevator to access the theatre is currently under repair so the theatre is not wheelchair accessible at this time. The installation of the new elevator is slated for the summer of 2023.
Stage: 30' wide, 27' deep, 12' high
Capacity: 90 people
Accessible: Temporarily not accessible due to elevator repairs — new installation will be done in the summer of 2023.
