What can I do if I'm going to have to miss the show?
Not to worry, we at Geordie understand things come up… even mother nature.
Up until 2 hours before the show that you have tickets for, we can exchange your tickets for another performance time or date of the same production. Simply call our box office beforehand to arrange your exchange: 514-845-9810. Exchanges cannot be made after a missed performance.
Doors open 1/2 hour before showtime, arrive at your convenience, we suggest 20 minutes before showtime, but be aware seating is general. Tickets can be picked up starting 1 hour before the show.
I have a coupon/gift certificate, how do I redeem it?
Because a coupon or gift certificate is like using actual money, they need to be handed in to Geordie in order for us to issue your tickets. If you want your tickets mailed to you, we need you to first mail in the coupon/certificate. If you are picking up tickets at the door, please bring the coupon/certificate with you. You can always call our office to arrange this: 514-845-9810. Coupons and vouchers cannot be redeemed at the door without a reservation.
I have a coupon, but I forgot to use it at the last show, can I redeem it now?
Coupons can only be used when ordering tickets and can not be redeemed for monetary value after a ticket transaction is completed. Our best advice is to hold onto the coupon and use it for another performance, with respect to the coupon expiry date.
Centaur Theatre F.A.Q
The theatre address is 453 St-Francois-Xavier, but what are the cross streets?
The theatre is located between Notre-Dame and St-Paul Streets in Old Montreal
How do we get to the Centaur Theatre?
- By metro, take the orange line to the Place d’Armes station. Take the Cote-St-Antoine exit, cross the street and follow St-Francois-Xavier up the hill for three blocks.
- By bus, both the #55 (stops on Notre-Dame just East of St-Urbain) and the #515 (stops at de la Commune and de Calliere), have stops within close walking distance of the theatre.
- By car, from DOWNTOWN:
Take St-Jacques going East. Turn right onto Peel (at the Dow Planetarium), and follow to Notre-Dame. Turn left onto Notre-Dame and continue on Notre-Dame until you reach the Notre Dame Basilica. To come around the Basilica, turn right onto St-Sulpice, then right onto St-Paul, then right onto St-François-Xavier. Centaur Theatre is on the East side of the street.
- By car from AUTOROUTE VILLE MARIE:
Take the Berri/St-Laurent exit, bear left – turn left onto Rue Viger East. Follow Viger to St-Urbain. Turn left onto St-Urbain, follow to St-Paul and turn right onto St-Paul, then turn right onto St-François-Xavier. Centaur Theatre is on the East side of the street.
- The Centaur Theatre is easily identified by the four large columns of its facade.
Where do I park at Centaur Theatre?
There are a number of privately owned parking lots in the vicinity of the Centaur Theatre. They cost between $10-$15 for the evening. A map of surrounding parking lots is available on the Centaur Theatre website.
Is Centaur Theatre wheelchair accessible?
Largely. Because of the historical nature of the building, the street-level wheelchair ramp may not be comfortable for all patrons. It is too steep to accomodate many heavy electric wheelchairs, but most manual ones have no difficulty. Once inside the building, theatre seating is wheelchair accessible. Please advise the office (514.845.9810) if you are attending with a patron with disabilities.
General Questions
Can family patrons get a chance to see the shows that are touring to schools?
Sure! There are a few options for parents: You could help us arrange a show at your child’s school. Option #2 is to organise a group for a private viewing at our theatre space or at a local school or community centre. Option #3 is to call or e-mail our office to find out if there are any public shows in your area.
Do you have talkback or question and answers sessions after every performance?
Normally, the only shows which include a question and answer period are the school touring shows. There are some occasions when we will do a talkback at some of our other shows but this is the exception rather than the rule.
Is Geordie a charitable organization?
Yes! Geordie Productions Inc. is a registered charitable not-for-profit organization. Our charitable registration number is #11893 6962 RR0001. Please support us by making a tax-deductible donation easily and securely through our website
Where does the name Geordie come from?
A “Geordie” is a name for person from Northern England, sort of like how we call someone from Nova Scotia a “Bluenoser” or from Newfoundland a “Newfie”. Elsa Bolam, Geordie’s Founding Artistic Director, is originally from this region in England. She’s a “Geordie” so that’s why she chose it for the name of the company!
Are there children in Geordie's plays?
The plays Geordie puts on are performed by professional adult actors. If your child is interested in learning about theatre, check out the Geordie Theatre School for classes that culminate in a year-end show. Don’t forget! one of the best ways to hone your skills as a young actor is to watch professionals at their craft.
Who performs in your productions?
Geordie is committed to producing theatre of the highest caliber, and our Mainstage series features Montreal’s finest professional talent. We are proud to support Canadian professional actors, directors, and stage managers by working with artists who are members of the Canadian Actors Equity Association, and by working with other theatre companies who are also members of the Professional Association of Canadian Theatres (PACT). Geordie has highlighted the work of emerging theatre artists by collaborating with the Concordia University Theatre Department on several Mainstage productions, including The Nightingale, Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass, and A Christmas Carol.
Does Geordie put on plays in French?
Only under special circumstances. In the 2009-10 Season we were thrilled to present Thrice Upon A Time… in French on Sunday, February 7th at 1pm. This is made possible as ThéâtreDynamO is touring the show in French to the rest of the province. For great French-language theatre for young audiences year-round in Montreal, check out La Maison Théâtre.
