What we're about

Welcome to Canada's largest theatre goers club.

If you like going to plays, musicals, comedy clubs and other arts events, but don't want to go alone ... you will love Thumbs Up!

One of our mandates is affordable theatre. This means we actively seek ticket discounts when possible. We also go to performances where rush and pay-what-you-can tickets are offered.

We also go to non-theatrical events, including concerts, street festivals, walking tours, day trips and many other events.

There are lots of fun get togethers at affordable cafes and restaurants before and after events.

It's FREE to join our group. Check out our schedule of upcoming events: https://www.meetup.com/Thumbs-Up-Theatre-Toronto/events/
