Festival Antigonish has established a proud legacy as the largest professional theatre in Northeastern Nova Scotia. With a history that spans three decades; average season attendance of 6,000 people, including locals and tourists; an acclaimed reputation as a regional economic and cultural anchor; and an artistic commitment to excellence; we are proud of our successes and we are committed to growth. We strive to create a supportive environment for Nova Scotian artists while producing and presenting a balanced selection of Canadian and international works. Festival Antigonish has a history of pushing boundaries and defying expectations for what should be possible for a little theatre company in rural Nova Scotia. In recent years, we have been the first established theatre company in the province to hire a BIPOC female in a leadership role (2016), introduce Relaxed Performances (2017), and produce radio plays as an accessible COVID response (2020). We have been inspired by colleagues around the world who have found innovative solutions to dealing with the pandemic, and we are excited about the possibilities.
