This production history of the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre (RMTC) is a chronological list of the Mainstage, Warehouse, and Regional Tour productions that have been staged since RMTC's inception.
The RMTC is Canada's oldest English-language regional theatre. It was founded in 1958 by John Hirsch and Tom Hendry as an amalgamation of the Winnipeg Little Theatre and Theatre 77, and was known as the Manitoba Theatre Centre until receiving its royal designation in 2010.
