The 2026 Summer Season at Port Stanley Festival Theatre premieres May 27th, and it’s sure to be a summer of standing ovations.
The season kicks off with Inner Elder, written and performed by award-winning Cree artist Michelle Thrush. Real-life memories told with laughter and grace, join Michelle on her poignant journey; it promises to fill your heart and put a smile on your face.
Get your groove on with Get Down Tonight: The Ultimate 70’s Soundtrack starring Leisa Way and the Wayward Wind Band. From ABBA to Aerosmith, Joni Mitchell to James Taylor, The Rolling Stones to The Bee Gees: the hits just keep on coming! Press rewind and relive the good times.
Opening on June 10th is the classic Norm Foster The Long Weekend. It’s titillating, it’s sassy, and it’s got a couple of plot twists that you will never see coming. Will these two couples survive a weekend full of grudges, hanky-panky, secrets, and lies?
One starry night 12 years ago, Jesse and Hannah met, and it was magical. Now they have a second chance at love. Sugar Road by Kristen Da Silva is a sweet, romantic comedy set in a rundown amusement park full of laughter, colourful characters, and a couple of catchy tunes.
Deadly Memories, a World Premiere comedy/thriller by Steven Gallagher, will leave you guessing and gasping for August. Cassandra can’t remember anything after her terrifying car crash and doesn’t know who to trust. Is it all in her mind? Is someone out for revenge? Who’ll get the last laugh?
Ship To Shore, Norm Foster’s hilarious new comedy, has its World Premiere on our stage starting August 19th. Is it love at first sight or mutual irritation for Erin and James, both bound on a cruise to Ireland? As they say, “What happens at sea, stays at sea!”
Musical Mondays on our Pat and Ali Shakir Harbour View Patio, Talk Back Tuesdays, The Simon Joynes Playwrights’ Festival, and ASL interpreted shows are all back for the summer of 2026.
