History

Theatre Aurora opened in 1958 as the Aurora Drama Workshop. They performed their first show, Tovarich, at the Aurora High School.[1]

In 1973, through an amalgamation with the Aurora Musical Theatre Society, Theatre Aurora was born. In 1974 Theatre Aurora took up residence at its Henderson Drive location through a lease with the Town of Aurora of a former cement factory. Through extensive renovations, members and patrons slowly began to transform the building over the years into the theatre that exists today.[2]
