Built as part of Burnaby South Secondary School, the Michael J. Fox Theatre is a professional, community-oriented theatre that offers a beautiful, practical and affordable venue for amateur and professional artists – enhancing the city's already-rich cultural fabric.  Originally opened in 1993, the theatre was officially re-named in November 1995 in honour of one of Burnaby's most famous and loved sons, Michael J. Fox, in recognition of his achievements in the arts and commitment to the community.  The theatre’s special design elements include specific considerations and features for those with special needs.  And the theatre promotes the community ideals of accessibility and inclusion in the truest sense.
