The Kipnes Lantern is the signature feature of the NAC’s architectural rejuvenation. On a typical day, it highlights upcoming productions at the NAC, as well as shows taking place on stages from Victoria to St. John’s.
Join us in the newly renovated Southam Hall this season! Better seats, better sound, better access.
The new NAC will include improved performance spaces, public areas for education and events, full accessibility for people with mobility challenges, and a magnificent glass atrium with a glittering entrance on Elgin Street, embracing Confederation Square and some of the most iconic views of important landmarks in our nation’s capital.
The NAC will remain open throughout the renovation.
