Looking for Oshawa’s best‑kept secret? Good luck.
Black Box 70 isn’t found — it’s discovered.
Because unless you’ve been there, you’ll walk right past it… twice… maybe three times… and swear it doesn’t exist.
But for those who do know?
You take the city’s slowest elevator
— yes, the one that seems like it’s not moving at all —
and step into a room built for pure entertainment:
live music that hits you in the soul,
comedy that hits you in the ribs,
and nights of dancing you’ll swear you weren’t planning on.
It’s Oshawa’s only speakeasy, and arguably the only venue in town where getting lost is part of the experience.
Black Box 70. If you know, you know.
This is Black Box 70.
An intimate, underground venue with just 64 seats, designed for those who prefer their nights close, immediate, and unforgettable. Within these walls, theatre becomes more gripping, music more electric, comedy more cutting, and jazz more haunting. It is a room that recalls the Starlight era of this storied address—yet carries its own pulse, a new rhythm for a new generation.
But Black Box 70 is not only a stage. It is a canvas. A nightclub, a cabaret, a theatre, a screening room. Available for rentals and private bookings, it can be transformed into whatever experience you dare to create—a concert, a soirée, a film, or an event that belongs only to you.
So consider this an invitation: to step off the street, descend the stairs, and discover what waits in the Black Box. For in this room, the ordinary is left at the door, and every night becomes something extraordinary.
