Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre The John Hirsch Mainstage Performance History MTC Mainstage: 1958 – today The Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre’s roots can be traced to the merging of Theatre 77, founded by Tom Hendry and John Hirsch, and Winnipeg Little Theatre in 1958, forming Canada’s first regional theatre. MTC’s first ten seasons were produced at the Dominion Theatre, just off the corner of Portage and Main (now the site of the Richardson Building). In 1968, MTC moved into the Centennial Concert Hall at 55 Main Street, where it spent the 1968/69 and 1969/70 seasons. The present site of MTC at 174 Market Avenue was completed in 1970, and the first production in its new home was Bertolt Brecht’s A Man’s a Man, directed by founding Artistic Director John Hirsch.
