Toronto's theatre scene

Hey everyone! I'm moving to Toronto in a few months and I'm curious to hear some of your thoughts on the theatre scene. Besides the big tours that pass through, what theatres/companies/actors etc are worth checking it out?

(I know there's a Toronto board but it looks as though it gets less traffic than the main one)
