Black Theatre Canada (BTC) was a Toronto-based theatre company founded in 1973 by Vera Cudjoe. The company sought to give expression to Black performance culture in Canada and to develop talent from the Black community. BTC was known for its critically acclaimed adaptations and original productions as well as educational programming, some of which extended into the metro Toronto school system. BTC cultivated a deep legacy of Black theatre and live performance artists in the 1970s and 1980s before folding in 1988 due to chronic funding shortages.
