In celebration of Canada’s 150th birthday, the Citizen is rolling out one fact each day for 150 days until July 1, highlighting the odd, the fascinating and the important bits of Ottawa history you might not know about.
At more than 100 years old, the Ottawa Little Theatre is one of the oldest ongoing community theatres in North America. Founded in 1913 by the Canadian Federation of University Women, the theatre has experienced more than a century of (mostly) ups, but has also had to get creative when the time called for it. During the Second World War, for example, the Ottawa Drama League (as it was known then) tried to donate all the proceeds of its performances to the war effort — but with fewer productions organized due to the shortage of men, the theatre had to rent itself out as a cinema.
