The Multimedia Studio Theatre, or MiST Theatre as it is commonly known, is a studio theatre located on the University of Toronto Mississauga campus in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. MiST was designed as a modern, flexible theatre space.[1] The theatre is contained in the CCT building designed by Saucier + Perrot.[2] Although MiST is an English & Drama departmental space, it is used by many different members of the UTM community.[3] It can also be rented by non-university groups.

The MiST Theatre is affiliated with the Theatre & Drama Studies Program and their performance company Theatre Erindale. The TDS program also uses the other University of Toronto Mississauga performance space, Erindale Studio Theatre.

Everything inside of MiST is modular, or on wheels. There are drapery tracks that encircle the room allowing the various drapes to be moved to any location. The theatre also has 6 moving lights that allow quick and easy placement of lighting specials. The theatre is often used for everything from modern multimedia performances to traditional dance.

Generally MiST has 148 seats set up, but the capacity is often increased for lecture style events.
