With opening night just around the corner, time is running out for theatre lovers to lock in a subscription for the upcoming summer season at Port Stanley Festival Theatre.
The 2026 season officially kicks off May 27th with Inner Elder, a heartfelt and humorous one-woman show by award-winning Cree artist Michelle Thrush, launching another packed lineup of comedy, music, and world premieres at the lakefront theatre.
That was Artistic Director Liz Gilroy, who stressed subscriptions remain the best way for audiences to secure seats and save money while enjoying the full summer lineup.
And each show this season is a must-see! Music lovers can look forward to Get Down Tonight, a high-energy celebration of iconic 1970s hits, while fans of Canadian comedy will recognize Norm Foster’s The Long Weekend.
The summer continues with Sugar Road by Kristen Da Silva, a romantic comedy set in a fading amusement park, followed by Deadly Memories, a comedy-thriller world premiere by Steven Gallagher. The season wraps up with another world premiere — Norm Foster’s Ship to Shore, a two-hander comedy set aboard a cruise ship.
Alongside the mainstage productions, popular programs like Musical Mondays on the harbour-view patio, Talk Back Tuesdays, the Simon Joynes Playwrights’ Festival, and ASL-interpreted performances will also return throughout the summer.
Subscriptions and tickets are available now at PSFT.ca, by phone, or in person at the box office @ 519-782-4353.
