Administrative history
Theatre Arts Guild (TAG), in Halifax, Nova Scotia, is Canada's longest continuously running community theatre company. Formed with the amalgamation of the Halifax Dramatic and Musical Club and the Little Theatre Movement, their first production, Dover Road, by A.A. Milne, was performed in May 1931 at the Garrick Theatre. The Guild used various venues, including the Capitol Theatre, the former College Street School, and the gymnasiums of HMCS Scotian and St. Patrick’s High School, until 1966, when they acquired a former church hall, which was renamed The Pond Playhouse and remains their permanent home.
TAG mounts five productions each season as well as participating in the Liverpool International Festival and the Provincial One-Act Play Festival, and hosting workshops, poetry and variety nights. The Theatre Arts Guild Young Company, which ceased operations in 1987 with the departure of Ken Schwartz (the co-founder of Two Planks and a Passion Theatre Company), took its productions to schools, hospitals, and day camps in the Halifax-Dartmouth area.
