The New Emergent Studio Theatre (The NEST) is an intimate and flexible performance space. It’s a black box theatre featuring customizable riser seating and the option to uncover the windows, providing lots of natural light that fills the theatre. Housed on the third floor of Festival House, the NEST is owned by CMHC-Granville Island, and stewarded by the Granville Island Theatre District. An elevator with a weight grade of 4,000lbs provides access to the third floor studio space, alongside a staircase with sturdy stair-rails. The NEST shares parking with Waterfront Theatre and we recommend arriving early to secure a spot.
