Unless otherwise noted, all of our classes take place at the Rapier Wit Studio. Rapier Wit is one block south of King Street and just west of Bathurst Street. Wellington is a one-way street going west, and the Rapier Wit studio is the third unit in the second building on the south (left) side. We're easy to spot from the street, being the only people in the neighbourhood with a big ol' rapier painted on our garage door! We are accessible by Bathurst and King streetcars. Parking is available in front of the studio if you're early, or nearby on Wellington Street. Local landmarks: The Wheat Sheaf pub, Waddington's Auction House, Factory Theatre. Please note that our minimum age for class participation is 18; we will consider admitting younger students only on a case-by-case basis.
