History

Founded by Robert Winslow in 1992, after his mother's passing left him with the 150-acre farm property that has been in his family for 150 years, Rob launched theatre with the classic The Cavan Blazers. Based on the story of the 19th-century Orangemen in Millbrook who violently tried to drive out Catholics who attempted to settle in the area.
Winslow has directed and written many of the plays. Some of the more recent productions have been directed by Kim Blackwell.
For the theatre's 25th season in 2016, an art show celebrating past productions was held in Millbrook. One of the 2016 productions featured was The Hero of Hunter Street, a play about a tragic industrial accident in the history of Peterborough, Ontario.
