History
In 1934, the Windsor Theatre Guild was founded in Windsor, Ontario. Originally known as the Border Theatre Guild, the organisation was established by an active group of Border Players from 1924 to 1927. The guild changed its name to the Windsor Theatre Guild in 1938. The guild was established for amateur actors and actresses from the City of Windsor in an effort to protect the local theatre and its participants, and to preserve Windsor's cultural arts. Many of the guild's productions were well received in the Western Ontario and Canadian Drama League Festivals.
