A Message from the President
Welcome to our Port Stanley Festival Theatre website!
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I hope you find navigation of our site easy and informative as you learn more about our theatre and services.
We are fortunate to have many live theatre venues in Southwestern Ontario; and very much appreciate your interest in our theatre. We offer exceptional value and quality productions on our stage. This year, we are eager to entertain you with a great line up of theatre which includes one world premiere production.
During the off season, we have a variety of musical productions on stage in the Grace Auditorium. Also, the Palmer Room and Pat and Ali Shakir Patio, have fabulous views of the harbour, making them the perfect location for your next family celebration, staff party, milestone birthday, wedding, or any other special occasion. Our licensed bar is available at your service.
We truly are a year-round destination and we value the relationships we have developed with our businesses and restaurants within the village, and with other tourist sites.
Enjoy your summer and please join us at the theatre here in beautiful Port Stanley.
