"My family has been attending The Guild for many years and we are never disappointed with the entertainment value.
It is easy to tell that management at the Guild is enthusiastic about their product because it shows in the performances and various artistic mediums on display.
It is very important for communities to have a place like The Guild which passionately works towards growing the local arts community and providing the amazing fruits of their labor on stage or on display for the rest of us to enjoy.

The Guild has become the perfect home for our annual mainstage production of Anne and Gilbert – The Musical. It allows audiences to experience the show in a unique, intimate setting from the first moment they set foot in the theatre, passing through the houses of 'Avonlea' before taking their seats.

"This intimate and cozy theatre has a HUGE personality! The shows are always top notch; great bang for your buck! The staff members are very friendly and quick to help out! The building itself is clean and very well maintained. The gallery on the lower level is worth a pre-show visit as it displays work from local artists. Last but not least, the location is perfect. Very close to local restaurants and coffee shops."

We recently rented the facility and were completely thrilled with everything, from our first planning meeting to when the last guest left the building on the night of the event! The staff was knowledgeable, friendly, and overall, a wonderful group to deal with. I would highly recommend The Guild – we could not have been any happier with every aspect of the day.

"I am so beyond grateful to The Guild for taking a chance on me and my first show that I wrote and performed. Not only did they provide an incredible container for me to cut my teeth on as a director and producer, but it was a perfect canvas for me to create the best work of my life as a performer. As a result of them allowing me to incubate a raw piece of work and turn it into something strong and polished, I was able to take the show, Atlantic Blue, into the world! It played at the world famous Charlottetown Festival, and has a tour booked for 2020 and 2021.
I am forever grateful to Alanna Jankov and all my dear friends at the theatre for their constant love and support. I owe so much of my success to what they taught me."

The Guild has been a very important part of the musical community in Charlottetown for many years. Professionally run, it provides a unique space for all types of music performances.

If you ever have the need of a venue to hold an event on behalf of the Prince Edward Island Regiment, you need look no further than The Guild. The staff go above and beyond to treat people well and professionally and always will go the extra mile to help out. I can't recommend them highly enough.

"The Guild is a small-town arts and cultural hub that creates a sense of community within the larger cultural district. Home to many of the city's cultural organizations, the facility offers an array of inspiring settings and urban coolness, while its gallery and anchor performance space create platforms for meaningful cultural and artistic engagement. The Guild is led by a knowledgeable and passionate management team who drives the engine that propels the success of the operation."

The Guild is a Not for Profit Arts, registered charity and Culture Hub with a provincial mandate to support new, emerging and professional artists, creative industries, and community organizations through subsidies, mentorship, training and professional development opportunities. We present and produce first class theatre 12 months of the year in our 140 seat black box performance space. Our Gallery at The Guild presents 6 months of curatorial artists paid exhibitions and an additional 6 months of community based exhibits in our public gallery yearly. We also offer versatile rehearsal space for artists as well as networking and promotional opportunities for Island artists, the public and the cultural sector.
We are the proud owners of a building in the heart of downtown Charlottetown (formerly a Royal Bank of Canada branch). In addition, we also house a Recording Studio, a Musical Theatre school for grades K to 12, and office space for several other creative industries; some of which are Music PEI, Creative PEI, Sandstone Comics and Federation culturelle de I'IPE. The Guild provides a community board room, a creative lab, weekly drop in mixers and several other spaces for artists to grow and flourish.
With the support of an active board, an energetic creative team, government partners and the community, we have completed four infrastructure improvement projects, have hired students through the Canada Summer jobs initiatives, created a Theatre Mentorship Program and present an annual Pay-What-You-Can spring festival. The Guild has become a venue where artists get much needed exposure, arts groups have a space to create, and the community has a gathering spot where everyone feels welcome.
We have five full time employees (doing the work of many) and more than 25 part time support staff members. In addition, The Guild has over 65 cast and crew come through its doors with the various production companies it hosts annually.
Having said this, we are a small organization doing big things. To continue to operate we rely on the support of the community, local businesses, individuals and, most importantly, investment from our three levels of government.
The Guild is a true reflection of Canadian culture- inclusive, relevant, accessible, exciting and entertaining.
