The Toronto Theatre District is Canada's largest, as well as being the third largest English-speaking theatre district in the world, after London's West End and New York City's Broadway. It is in the city's downtown, near the harbour and Lake Ontario. It is considered to be part of a larger Toronto Entertainment District. Most of the theatre district is bounded by Adelaide Street in the north, University Avenue in the east, King Street West in the south, and Bathurst Street in the west. Some notable historic theatres are located beyond these boundaries, for example Tarragon Theatre. Toronto's theatre scene is predominantly clustered in a central area, but expands as far north as Bloor Street, south to the harbour front, and as far east as the Don River. Large touring Broadway and West End productions come to Toronto regularly. The city also hosts several theatre festivals each year. The annual Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake celebrates the works of Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw. The Toronto Fringe Festival promotes uncensored original works at numerous small venues. Summerworks is the largest juried theatre festival in Canada, focusing on small theatre productions as well as a music concert series and art exhibits. The annual Stratford Shakespeare Festival takes place in the nearby town of Stratford, Ontario. ==Theatres== Toronto's theatre district includes many landmark theatres, such as: *Factory Theatre *Bluma Appel Theatre, St. Lawrence Centre for the Arts *Buddies in Bad Times Theatre *Canadian Stage Company (theatre on Berkeley Street, outdoor amphitheatre at High Park) *Lorraine Kimsa Theatre for Young People *Princess of Wales Theatre *Royal Alexandra Theatre *Roy Thomson Hall *The Second City *Tim Sims Playhouse *Tarragon Theatre *Theatre Passe Muraille File:Roy thomson hall.jpg|Roy Thomson Hall.
