More About Lighthouse

The Lighthouse Festival is a charitable Canadian theatre company bringing together some of the best professional talent from across the country to stage the best of Canadian comedy.

We commission, develop and produce theatre of the highest calibre, to create a shared experience of joy, connection and uproarious fun. Our theatres are a place to park your troubles at the door, lose yourself in the moment, and laugh until you cry.

Each season our shows play in both Port Dover and Port Colborne, Ontario. See them at the Lighthouse Theatre in Port Dover and the Roselawn Theatre in Port Colborne.
