One of its ongoing projects is the Legends Library, which consists of filmed interviews of Canadian theatre icons such as William Hutt and Robert LePage.[1] In addition to their online exhibits, the museum tours exhibits to various venues in Toronto.

On March 23, 2023, Canada's Theatre Museum announced that it will have a new home located in the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatres. Planning and design work is underway with Toronto-based international multidisciplinary design firm Reich&Petch. The new museum will be an integral part of Canada’s theatre community, past, present and future with space for dynamic exhibits, presentations and educational programming.[2]
