Rental Events at the Tidemark Theatre
The Tidemark Theatre Society operates as a publicly accessible cultural facility and provides venue rental access to a wide range of presenters and performances.Â
It is important to distinguish between Tidemark-presented programming, which we curate, fund, and promote, and rental events, which are presented by external promoters under a rental agreement. For rental events, the renter is responsible for the content presented. The presence of an event in our venue does not constitute endorsement of the performer’s views by the Tidemark Theatre Society.Â
As a public facility operating within a City-owned building, the Theatre administers rentals in a content-neutral manner. We do not evaluate or regulate lawful expression presented by renters. Restrictions apply only where content is unlawful or meets the legal threshold for hate speech or incitement to violence under applicable law.Â
We recognize that some performances may generate concern or strong reactions within the community. While we respect the right of individuals to express their views, the Theatre must also fulfill its legal and governance obligations in providing fair, non-discriminatory access to the facility.Â
The Tidemark Theatre Society remains deeply committed to our relationships with Indigenous, 2SLGBTQ+, and community partners, and to presenting programming that reflects those relationships through the work we directly curate and present.Â
