Theatre Royal, Montréal

[1] The Theatre Royal in Montréal was founded by the merchant John Molson.

It was an English-language theatre, and staged plays by Shakespeare and English authors of the Restoration period.

However, it became the main local for the travelling theatre companies who visited Canada more and more frequently in the 19th century.

Concerts, circus performance and other public entertainments was also staged there.

After then-manager of the Theatre Royal, John Buckland, died in November 1872, he was succeeded by his wife, Kate Horn as manager.
