Campbell House Museum

“Campbell House is one of the oldest pieces of architecture in Toronto, and not a theatre but a home where people have lived and died. At Soup Can Theatre’s A Christmas Carol, “You are there, and good Lord, so are the ghosts.”    – Arpita Ghosal, SesayaArts

They’re back! The Three Ships Collective – with the support of Soup Can Theatre – has returned to Campbell House with their version of A Christmas Carol; the immersive and award-winning smash hit adaptation of Dickens’ timeless holiday classic

Tickets are SOLD OUT. Thank you to all for supporting this new holiday tradition.

A Christmas Carol is an enchanting, heartwarming production.

From 7pm Saturday, October 5th, until 5am the following morning, the Campbell House was transformed like never before by Bruno Billio’s Tron Experience, with the support of the Queen St. West BIA and Curator Glen Baxter. The house became a vision in neon reminiscent of 1982’s Tron and amazed almost two thousand visitors throughout the night.

Campbell House is proud to have received the 2019 Architectural Conservancy Ontario Public Education and Engagement Award.

Lost & Found is a permanent outdoor exhibit celebrating iconic heritage structures and is viewable all year round in the Campbell House gardens.

Reception and Artist’s Talk: May 2, 6–8pm

Fissure runs May 1–June 2

Employing her own body, Ayana V. Jackson deconstructs racial and gender stereotypes to create contemporary portraits laced with historical allusions. Deeply influenced by her own fluid identity and her transcontinental practice—working between New York, Paris, and Johannesburg— Jackson’s images crystallize African and African-diasporic realities while challenging a fraught legacy of pictorial representation. With Fissure, Jackson’s work activates the Campbell House Museum. Built in 1822, the Campbell House’s age, style, decor, and original function epitomize the historical period alluded to in Jackson’s photographs in a visceral way.
