Support Buddies

In Gabriel’s Kitchen Marc Bendavid and Kristopher Turner


Established in 1979, Buddies in Bad Times Theatre is a Canadian, not-for-profit professional theatre company and registered charity.

Buddies is dedicated to the promotion of queer theatrical expression.

During the past 29 years, it has evolved from a small, roaming troupe into the largest queer theatre company in the world.



Buddies has made an unparalleled contribution to the acceptance and celebration of queer lives while supporting some of Canada’s most innovative and important cultural artists.

Buddies is where it is today because of the financial support of a wide range of individuals, companies and funders who contribute to Buddies each year. Every size and type of donation makes an essential contribution to Buddies' ability to flourish.

To find out more about Buddies' mandate, our activities, programmes and contributions to the community, please see our company profile .

A sincere thank you to all of those who have supported Buddies throughout the years – we couldn't have gotten here without you! And a special thank you to our current supporters .
