A Sold-Out Opening Weekend Success at The Grove Theatre

Plenty more in store for the remainder of August! 

The Grove Theatre is elated to announce their opening weekend of programming was a sold-out success! Patrons, donors, volunteers, and artists alike gathered at The Grove, located on the Fenelon Fairgrounds between August 5-7 for a truly magical weekend. This is the organization's soft launch and their official opening will be celebrated in 2022 with their production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, The Musical. Last weekend featured an intimate Broadway Cabaret with Heather McGuigan and friends, along with two high-energy comedy sets by the absolutely electric Elvira Kurt, and two sold-out improv sets by the dynamic duo of improv comedy, Colin Mochrie and Debra McGrath. 

The Grove Theatre team was overjoyed to hear an outpouring of support from ticket buyers, who seemed to be equally as impressed with the natural idyllic setting as they were with the high-calibre performances from Canadian cultural icons. The Fenelon Falls Brewing Company was also on site providing refreshments for guests. “This is a partnership that we are extremely proud of because The Fenelon Falls Brewing Co. and The Grove Theatre place the needs and wants of the local community above all else. The Grove Theatre will continue to deliver high quality entertainment to the Kawartha Lakes Region for the remainder of August, and for years to come” said Nicole Myers-Mitchelle, The Grove Theatre’s General Manager. 

“Check out all of the amazing acts we have scheduled for the remainder of August. There is something for everyone and tickets are available now. There is limited seating as we are strictly following Covid guidelines.”
