Cahoots Theatre is located at 3-388 Queen St. East, Toronto, ON, CAN. Check out how to get here.

Cahoots Theatre operates on the land of Anishinaabe, the Haundenosaunee, the Wendat, and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. This land is known by many names such as Treaty 13 Territory and Tkarón:to, a word from the Mohawk meaning trees standing in the water. Tkarón:to has always been a meeting place because of how the waterways intersect. Cahoots is within the wampum belt covenant, The Dish with One Spoon Territory. This is the agreement between the caretakers of the shared territories and hunting grounds. Check out our full land acknowledgment:

Please note our staff is working remotely for the foreseeable future so no one is in the physical space.

Cahoots Theatre has historically been led by an Artistic Director and an administrative head. Currently, the company is being co-led by Tanisha Taitt, Artistic Director (2019-present), and Lisa Alves, Managing Producer (2020-present). The leadership is supported by the Board of Directors which consists of two co-chairs, a treasurer, a secretary, and several directors.

Ticket prices vary from program to program we offer at Cahoots. Some of our programming is offered for free with an option to donate. Other programming will have ticket fees involved. We try to offer a variety of pay-what-you-can-afford options. We do not want to turn anyone away because someone can’t afford the prices. If money is a barrier to accessing our programming, please email us at info@cahoots.ca so we can get you to engage with our work.

‍

We understand that money is a barrier for many in the communities that we serve. If you can not afford the prices of programming offered please email us at info@cahoots.ca so we can get you to engage with our work.

‍

When purchasing or registering for a Cahoots Theatre’s show through SimplyK or another ticket vendor, if you don’t see your ticket/registration confirmation, please check your junk mail. If you still don’t see the confirmation, please email us at info@cahoots.ca.

If you are purchasing a ticket or registering to attend a Cahoots Theatre’s offering and are being sent to a site called SimplyK, that is where you will be purchasing your ticket or registering your attendance. Fill out the form and verify an email confirmation has been sent to you. Check your junk folder if you don’t see it in your inbox. 

‍

Sometimes when purchasing a ticket for a show, you may be redirected to another theatre’s website to make the purchase (eg, Theatre Passe Muraille or Theatre Centre). You are being redirected to the correct place to make the purchase. 

‍

If you have questions about purchasing a ticket, please contact the box office of the theatre you are being redirected to or email us at info@cahoots.ca

‍

Scroll down on the right side of the SimplyK page and click on the SimplyK logo. This will take you the SimplyK homepage. On the SimplyK homepage you will see a purple circle in the bottom right corner, click on it to chat with a SimplyK representative to help you with you technical issues.

You can also contact us at info@cahoots.ca.

‍

If you experience technical issues on another theatre’s ticket vendor page, please contact the theatre’s box office or email us at info@cahoots.ca.

If a ticket has been purchased through SimplyK we can offer a refund once the ticket holder emails info@cahoots.ca at least 6 hours before the event starts.

Any tickets purchased through another theatre ticket vendor will need to follow that particular theatre’s refund policy.

‍

We don’t have a built in ticketing platform on our site right now. As a small company with humble resources, we want to ensure our monetary resources are going directly to our artists and communities first and foremost. This is why we use SimplyK because it free of charge for us to use and you don’t get charged service fees when you purchase tickets. 

For in-person programming, we also tend to rent out theatre spaces across Tkarón:to because our space is not for performances. When we rent from other theatres, their ticketing platform is within our rental expense. Logistically it makes the most sense since we are renting their space both physically and digitally. 

We may introduce our own ticketing platform in the future and we’ll let you know when we do. Until then, thank you for supporting Cahoots Theatre!
