Last chance to join us at The Grove Theatre for our first ever closing weekend!
Hello Town Crier subscribers! The team at The Grove theatre wanted to share our final weekend of programming for our August season is close at hand. We wanted to take one last opportunity to share our shows with the community and to thank all of our extremely dedicated supporters and volunteers for making this dream a reality!

A short note, as we continue to see rising case numbers returning to Ontario, we wanted to reassure our guests and patrons that The Grove Theatre takes the COVID-19 pandemic very seriously. We are fully compliant with official COVID guidelines and best practices and ask that any guests with concerns please review our COVID policy and get in touch with us at info@grovetheatre.ca for any concerns.
We want to maintain that the safety of our artists, patrons, volunteers, and staff will always remain our top priority.
Our Closing Weekend Shows!
Heather’s Garden Variety: Clover
Broadway and musical theatre favourites return to The Grove Theatre stage with Heather's Garden Variety: Clover!
Tight friendships and tight harmonies. Theatre performers and friends, Heather McGuigan, Jade Repeta and Alexis Gordon explore a wide range of music from Broadway to the Rankins in this joyful concert. Each has a long and celebrated career across Canada and this intimate and personal concert is a unique way to meet some stars of the Canadian Stage.
Crystal Shawanda at The Grove Theatre
"The songs just fell out of me and throughout the recording it was like setting my voice free,” she says. “I can’t help but feel like I’m home, no longer holding back.”
Crystal’s album Church House Blues is a modern take on the blues, but is deeply rooted with heart-wrenching laments and catchy rump-shakers. It’s where the north meets the south and captures the resilience of the human spirit — much like the way Crystal does.
Family Fun Day: Greg Tarlin’s Juggling Show and Kawartha Public Library Storywalk
We are very happy to share our upcoming Family Fun Day with you all! On Saturday, August 28 at 4 PM join juggler-performer-comedian extraordinaire Greg Tarlin for a light-hearted and comedic juggling display for all ages!

Dance in The Grove
Prepare to be swept off your feet by two artistic dance performances featuring Bill Coleman and Co. as well as Toronto’s Dance Fachin!
“Coleman’s work has transcended traditional theatrical settings to include mountain tops, rainforests, prairies and urban construction sites. He has created a bold collection of large scale, site-specific works, collaborating with diverse groups including WWII veterans, Aboriginal communities, fishing villages, ranching towns and urban neighbourhoods."
“Dance Fachin aims to create shows with a dance narrative, wherein dance becomes the primary vehicle with which to tell a story. Dance Fachin, under the direction of Emma Bartolomucci, incorporates dynamic music that engages the audience, making technical dance a more accessible art form for mainstream patrons. The company’s mission is to tell stories from different cultural perspectives, expanding global and societal views through the medium of dance.”
