About the Royal and McPherson Theatres Society (RMTS)
The Royal Theatre and McPherson Playhouse are located on the ancestral and traditional
territories of the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples, known today as the Songhees, Esquimalt and WSÁNEĆ
Nations.
For over four decades, the Royal and McPherson Theatres Society (RMTS) has managed the
Royal Theatre and the McPherson Playhouse providing service to over 200,000 patrons
annually. The RMTS is the steward of two landmark theatres in Greater Victoria and is key to
the growth and development of the arts in the community. The Society manages the theatres
on behalf of the buildings’ municipal owners and provides up-to-date facilities and services,
encourages community arts, promotes quality programming and maximizes the use of the
facilities. The RMTS is focused on the preservation of the two historic assets and is primarily
a rental-only facility; however, it provides a full complement of support services to its
presenter clients.
The RMTS is committed to equal employment opportunity for all employees and applicants
for employment and to providing employees with a safe and respectful work environment
free of discrimination and harassment.
The RMTS is committed to Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility (IDEA). This includes
creating a cohesive work environment built around collaboration and teamwork, valuing our
role as an integral hub for performing arts in the region.
Vision
Our community is enriched by sustainable theatres that bring people together to share in the
wonder of performance experiences.
Mission
We connect artist and audience and provide professional stewardship of valued heritage
theatres.
