The Sanderson Centre

The Sanderson Centre for the Performing Arts is a heritage theatre and concert hall located in the heart of downtown Brantford, Ontario.

The Sanderson Centre seats 1,125 people and is a home for local performing arts organizations like the Brantford Symphony Orchestra and provides a venue for school and community events, recitals and amateur dance competitions.

In 1929, Famous Players purchased the Temple Theatre to operate as a cinema, eventually renaming it The Capitol in 1930.

[1] In 1986, the City of Brantford purchased the theatre for $425,000, with the assistance of dedicated community volunteers who raised funds to revitalize the building.

Over the next several years, the theatre was reborn with an authentically restored auditorium and improved services for guests and performers.
