General note:

Founded in 1970, Factory Theatre Lab Toronto was one of the first Canadian theatres dedicated exclusively to Canadian works. In 1973 it presented a festival of plays in London, England, and in the same year it opened a western branch in Calgary, Factory Theatre West, which has since folded. Factory Theatre Lab is currently known as Factory Theatre.

Associated material note:

A Factory Theatre fonds can be found at Guelph University Library's L.W. Connolly Theatre Archives.
