The story

Founded in 1966 by Ken and Sue Kramer, Globe Theatre was Saskatchewan's first professional theatre company. It was named for Shakespeare's Globe Theatre in London. Globe Theatre is the province's largest performing arts organization and the regional theatre for Regina. The theatre is housed in the Prince Edward Building in downtown Regina, a designated heritage site that was built in 1906 as the Regina Post Office and RCMP headquarters and later became City Hall. The theatre took over the second and third floors of the building in 1981. In 2014, Globe Theatre purchased the Prince Edward Building.

Globe Theatre programs two stages: a 406-seat theatre-in-the-round stage and a 100-seat black box space where the theatre produces emerging artists and work. The theatre produces six productions per year. The Globe Theatre School was launched in 2006.

Globe Theatre underwent extensive renovations between 2020 and 2024, with a performance of a Peter Pan adaptation welcoming audiences back to the main venue on November 27, 2024. While the theatre was under renovation, a number of performances were held at other venues throughout Regina. Remaining work is expected to be complete in time for the theatre's 60 year anniversary in 2026.
