This is The Year to Check Out Tweed & Company Theatre

Since 2009, Tweed & Company Theatre has been proudly bringing professional, original musical theatre to Hastings County. The company is growing fast – last year marked the opening of their third venue, the Tweed Outdoor Stage. A year before that, they took over operations of the Bancroft Village Playhouse which now hosts their biggest audiences. This year, they’re undergoing major renovations to their flagship venue, the Marble Arts Centre in Tweed – turning it into the region’s state-of-the-art performance hub.

If you haven’t been to one of their shows before (or if it’s been a while), this is certainly the best season to attend, as it’s their biggest yet! They have a full year’s worth of live entertainment to check out, sweeping across their three stages. In both Tweed and Bancroft, catch June’s Ontario premiere of Dear Rita, a musical toast to Cape Breton’s songstress, Rita MacNeil. Then in July, Canada’s favourite show, Anne of Green Gables – The Musical will be playing in Bancroft – featuring a cast of professionals and local performers alike! In August, the mega Broadway hit Million Dollar Quartet will play in both locations.

Between these main shows, catch the incredible lineup of concerts at all three venues, including Bowie Live, The Best of Broadway, Mudmen, Valdy, Dan Mangan, and so much more! In the fall, check out their original, family-fun A Night At The Grand Ghoul Opry and the holiday favourite (with an original twist!) A Christmas Carol.

Do you have a little one at home with a passion for performance? Sign them up for summer theatre camps in Tweed and Bancroft. Tweed & Company Theatre prioritizes uplifting local talent and making theatre as accessible as possible for everyone, which is why they’re proud to offer some of the cheapest tickets in the province – ranging from $38.50 to $23.50 +HST for major shows with discounts for students/youth, seniors, and arts workers.
