Tivoli Capital Campaign
Toonies 4 Tivoli

The Tivoli Theatre in Hamilton opened in 1924 as a combination vaudeville and movie house. The Tivoli complex originally held a carriage factory, and then a small storefront nickelodeon in 1907.

The theatre closed as a movie house in 1990, and reopened as a venue for live stage shows in 1995. The building has been designated a historic site under the Ontario Heritage Act.

CBYE acquired the building in 2006

Dare to Dream

Over the past 10 years, the CBYE has become an important part of the arts in Hamilton.  With the acquisition of the historic Tivoli Theatre, the organization will take on a new and expanded role as a cultural leader in our community. The scope of this project extends far beyond dance productions and gives the CBYE the opportunity to have enormous impact artistically, educationally and economically.  This is truly the beginning of something powerful and will be embraced by the whole community for what it does for the city’s image, our local culture, the strength of our core and our quality of life in general.

Ambitious for the little dance production that grew?  Perhaps.  But it is a vision that is certainly achievable when shared and supported by all.  Over the next year, you will see us move forward with confidence and purpose to make this a reality.  We hope you will dare to dream with us and offer your support as we help our community take this giant yet graceful step forward.

Interim Chair,
