Theatres, along with other cultu-
ral organizations are the fourth
largest employer in Ontario, pro-
viding summer jobs to over 2,200
professionals on the stage and be-
hind the scenes. Theatre in Ontario
can happen anywhere - in a former
toothbrush factory (Upper Canada
Playhouse), a town hall (Blyth Fes-
tival, Drayton Festival, Lakeshore
Summer Festival), a barn (Huron
Country Playhouse, Red Barn
Theatre), and an opera house (Mus-
koka Festival, Kawartha Summer
Theatre), just to name a few.
They're all homes to summer thea-
tres in Ontario, where hundreds of
performances take place, ranging
from the classics and comedy to
homegrown Canadian plays and
musicals.
The University of Waterloo's
studies on a number of summer
theatres indicate theatres draw mil-
lions of paying customers into ur-
ban and rural centres, providing
substantial economic spinoffs for
local business and the economy.
For example, in western Ontario
you'll find: Blyth - Blyth Festival
performs all Canadian theatre from
June to September in historic Blyth
Memorial Hall; Drayton - Drayton
Festival launches its first season in
historic Drayton Opera House;
Grand Bend - Huron Country Play-
house features entertaining plays in
a magical barn - turned theatre
from June to September; Petrolia -
Petrolia Summer Theatre offers a
number of productions in Sarnia,
since Victoria Playhouse burned
down; Port Dover - Lighthouse
Festival offers an irresistible theatre
adventure with comedy, mystery
and music from June to September,
Roxy Theatre - Owen Sound of-
fered theatre in June in their newly
restored theatre; and Stratford -
Stratford Festival offers outstand-
ing classics and Shakespeare from
April to October to thousands of
people who flock each summer to
this beautiful city.
