Lighthouse: We touch lives through the magic of theatre
Mission
Who we are
Rooted in humour and empathy, Lighthouse delivers high-calibre live theatre with an emphasis on distinctly Canadian stories. On mainstages in Port Dover, Port Colborne and at Simcoe community theatre, we showcase the talents of established and emerging artists. Through play development, we contribute creative comedic and dramatic content scripted by Canadian playwrights to the Canadian cultural landscape. With our arts and youth programs we reach into the community to inspire the next generation of artists, technicians, donors, and patrons. Our enduring promise is an exceptional immersive theatre experience beginning-to-end. Lighthouse is a place to be and to be part of.
