The Mainspace lounge in the Factory Theatre has a new look thanks to a $15,000 donation from the TD Bank Financial Group, reports marketing and development manager Bonnie Mouck. The community theatre, housed in a Victorian building on Bathurst Street, updated the lounge by adding new hardwood flooring, black leather furniture, and a new bar, the base of which is wrapped in tin.
"We would have loved to have done the ceiling in tin, but we couldn't, so we did the tin around the bar," Mouck said. The venue, which includes a studio theatre, a rehearsal space, and the Mainspace, is available for private bookings dependent on the performance schedule. The studio theatre seats 100, the rehearsal hall holds 75 for receptions, the Mainspace theatre holds 200 seated, and the Mainspace lounge holds 75 for receptions. An outdoor courtyard has room for 70 for seated events and 100 for receptions. Performances can also be bought out for corporate and nonprofit events.
