The women-run Alumnae Theatre in Toronto's east end experienced its sixth violent break-in this year.
Located at the corner of Adelaide and Berkley, the Alumnae Theatre has been around for 107 years, producing thought-provoking theatre in a converted firehall.
In a Facebook post shared on December 2, the theatre shared multiple photos of doors and windows smashed and broken into.
Ruddock states the theatre is working closely with Toronto Police, City representatives and their local BIA to prevent more break-ins from happening.
"I would love to see Alumnae Theatre just opening doors more for that kind of intentional relationship building."
