Louisbourg Playhouse Summer Season

Multiple shows weekly, June through September · Louisbourg Playhouse

Maritime music and theatre in a replica Shakespearean theatre.

Summer-long programme of dinner theatre, ceilidhs and concerts in a wooden round playhouse originally built as a film set for Squanto.

What to expect

Intimate 200-seat theatre-in-the-round. Programming alternates between Maritime musical revues, tribute shows, and ceilidh nights with local fiddlers.

Highlights

The lobster suppers paired with shows. The acoustics in the wooden round.

Plan ahead

Tickets via louisbourgplayhouse.com. Pair with a daytime visit to the Fortress (10 min drive). Stay at Cranberry Cove Inn or Point of View Suites.

Why go

A quirky venue with a film-set origin story, programming the kind of warm Maritime show you can't find on a streaming service.
