Hart House Theatre | Ghost Saved Lives | University of Toronto

Hart House Theatre has been in the University of Toronto since 1919.  Canada’s first “little theatre” offered an intimate space where young performers could take risks and shape the future of Canadian arts.

Over the decades, its stage became a proving ground for remarkable talent.  And few theatres in Canada can claim such a lineage.

But for all the stars who passed through its doors, Hart House Theatre’s most enduring figure wasn’t an actor at all. Tt was a caretaker named Bert.  

His sudden death in the 1950s shocked everyone.  But it’s his postmortem act of heroism which is still talked about today.
