333: The Toronto Bathhouse Raids

In 2026, The Guild unveils Rooted & Rising: A Season of Performances That Evoke and Provoke, a lineup that champions bold voices, transformative stories, and artists who push the boundaries of performance. This summer’s presentation series invites audiences to explore history, identity, resilience, and joy through four major productions, a monthly music series, and returning favourites.

Kicking off the season is 333: The Toronto Bathhouse Raids, a gripping look at a defining moment in queer Canadian history. Set during the 1981 Operation Soap raids, the play follows three “found-ins,” Honey, Darren, and Eddy, as the community’s uprising sparks what many view as the beginning of Canada’s Pride movement. Each must confront what they’re willing to risk when dignity, livelihood, and belonging are on the line. This vital, often-overlooked chapter in queer history explores homophobia, identity, intergenerational dialogue, and the ongoing fight for liberation.

As The Guild continues its commitment to accessible, diverse, and impactful arts experiences, the 2026 summer season is an invitation to witness artistry that challenges, celebrates, and inspires.
