Pi Theatre Productions is a playwright-centred independent theatre company. We bring you local, national and international contemporary playwrights whose voices illuminate the commonalities and contradictions of the human experience. Established in 1984, Pi has evolved into a company that engages with writers who explore the spirit of our times, cross-pollinating cultures and ideas.
Pi’s notoriously diverse, forward-looking and innovative Canadian and international plays attract an adventurous Vancouver audience. We aim to provide our audiences with intellectually stimulating and emotionally challenging theatrical experiences that expand how people view themselves and their place in the world.
Pi is an Established Alternative member of the Professional Association of Canadian Theatres, and a registered non-profit society. We are a founding member of See Seven, a joint initiative for Vancouver’s independent theatre community known for provocative, relevant and challenging work. Pi also stewards Prime Placements, an emerging artist showcase.

“Pi Theatre has established an important place for itself in Vancouver’s theatrical ecology by bringing us cutting-edge plays from England, Ireland, Quebec, and the rest of Canada that haven’t been seen here before. This exciting work has positioned Pi as an indispensable lynchpin between the larger, more mainstream companies and the fringe.”
after the quake is testament to where you can get to in the work with enough time and talent invested in it…it is simply a vehicle to serve the medium: the sharing of stories.
“Bashir Lazhar feels distinctly Quebecois. That, in itself, may be reason enough to see it.”
“I am constantly reminded of the importance of cultural representations of poetry, performance, and myth to enhance people’s experiences and understandings of one another. I believe that Pi Theatre’s mission to connect global ideas with local talent agrees with my Canadian Studies theories about immigration to Canada and the unique relationship posed between the local and the global.”
