THINK INDEPENDENT!

About us

​

WIT’s mandate is to promote professional independent theatre in Winnipeg and connect with you: our audience! 

We welcome all independent theatre companies operating in Winnipeg inclusive of race, ethnicity, ancestry, age, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, socio-economic strata or religious beliefs.

WIT acknowledges that the land upon which we gather and create theatre is Treaty 1 Territory. It is the traditional lands of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, Dakota, and Dene Peoples, and the homeland of the Métis Nation. The name Winnipeg is derived from the Cree name for Lake Winnipeg, win-nipi, meaning “murky water”. We acknowledge our water is sourced from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation.

​

WIT exists to share resources, develop marketing synergies, and foster support for independent theatre with the goal of strengthening individual and collective profiling and patronage. A representative of each member company serves as a director of WIT on a voluntary basis.

​

WIT has two membership categories: Full Membership (for established professional companies) and Associate Membership (for emerging companies). Go here for more information on our membership categories.
