About
Morrisburg is a theatre in the village of Morrisburg, Ontario, on the shore of the St. Lawrence River. Note that the guide lists it under Montreal, but the venue itself sits in this small Ontario village, a drive west of the city.
The theatre is a professional company operating under the Canadian Theatre Agreement of Canadian Actors' Equity Association. It is a charitable non-profit organization, governed by a Board of Directors and run by an Artistic Director and a Business Manager. It was established in 1983, and it began in a large tent on the edge of the village before moving to its present home.
The building
The theatre occupies a converted former toothbrush and argyle sock factory. The building has a licensed canteen, and there is plenty of parking, which makes arriving by car straightforward.
What to expect
The season follows the year in a few distinct parts:
- Spring and fall live concerts
- A four-show summer theatre series
- A winter holiday family show
For a visitor, this makes Morrisburg a good choice for a seasonal outing: an evening of live music, a summer play, or a family afternoon in the colder months. Because the company is a local, community-minded organization, the atmosphere tends to suit a relaxed night out rather than a formal occasion.
