Welcome to our 19th season of outstanding music, comedy, theatre and dance at the Louisbourg Playhouse – Cape Breton Island’s most intimate and historic performance venue.

Based on London’s 1599 Globe Theatre, the open-air playhouse was constructed at the Fortress of Louisbourg by Walt Disney Studios for the motion picture Squanto: A Warrior’s Tale. After filming wrapped up, the structure was donated to Louisbourg and relocated to our site just off the main street of the Town.

Since opening to the public in 1994, the Louisbourg Playhouse has presented hundreds of performers to thousands of visitors during our Island’s busy tourist season. We try to provide something for everyone, from our local residents to our welcomed visitors.

This season is sure to bring many friends and families together to share in a live show experience that will spark energy and enthusiasm: from our new musical comedy, ‘Getting Dark Again’,  to North America’s only coal miners’ chorus MEN OF THE DEEPS and Cape Breton’s award-winning JP CORMIER.

The website continues to be updated with the 2013 schedule, ticket policy and other information.
