HOW TO GET THERE

If you are arriving by car from out of town, the Princess of Wales and the Royal Alexandra are only a few blocks north of the Gardiner Expressway (the QEW, to and from Hamilton, Niagara and Buffalo). Exit the Gardiner at Spadina and turn right (east) at the second traffic light, on King Street.

To reach the Canon Theatre from the Gardiner Expressway, exit at either Yonge Street or Bay Street and drive north. From Bay Street, turn right (east) on Dundas for two blocks, and right (south) on Victoria Street to arrive at The Canon Theatre Box Office, 244 Victoria Street.

The Panasonic Theatre, at 651 Yonge St., is 5 minutes, by car, north of the Canon.

If you are driving into Toronto via Highway 401 (the MacDonald-Cartier Freeway), the Gardiner Expressway is linked to the 401 to the east by the Don Valley Parkway (Highway 404) and to the west by Highway 427.

Visitors arriving by rail can walk to the Princess of Wales, Royal Alexandra and Canon theatres from Union Station.

For the Royal Alexandra and Princess of Wales, it's a ten-minute walk west along Front St. to Simcoe, and north on Simcoe to King; or you can take the subway from Union Station one stop to the St. Andrew Subway Station.

For the Canon Theatre, exit Union Station and walk to Yonge Street, one block east. It's then just a 15-minute walk up Yonge to the theatre. You can also catch the subway at Union Station and ride to Dundas, three stops away.

All the theatres are easily reached by subway and streetcar. The Royal Alexandra and the Princess of Wales are just a few steps west of the St. Andrew Subway Station (at the intersection of King Street and University Avenue), and the King Street streetcars stop in front of both buildings.

The Canon Theatre is just south of the Dundas Subway stop, on the Yonge Street line. It is also just a short walk north of the Queen stop.

The Panasonic Theatre is midway between the Bloor/Yonge and Wellesley subway stations.
