Huron Country Playhouse Season


There’s something special about summer theatre in a rural setting near a resort beach town that is unlike any other.

Waiting outside the barn on a warm summer night at the Huron Country Playhouse for a show to go in, or looking out across the fields while eating an ice cream at intermission is a great way to make memories with friends and family. 


Drayton Entertainment which operates the theatre is renowned for big musicals on the Mainstage and delightful comedies in the smaller South Huron Stage (formerly Playhouse II), and this year is no exception.


Southwestern Ontario boasts an impressive roster of professional theatres, and the 2025 season is shaping up to be the most exciting we’ve seen since pre-pandemic days. This season’s line-up from Drayton Entertainment’s Huron Country Playhouse in Grand Bend represents the diversity and ambition of this company, from two Broadway-busting Andrew Lloyd Webber productions, the box office smash Shrek the Musical, to audience favourite panto and an all-Canadian comedy. This 2025 season is saying that Huron Country Playhouse really, really wants to entertain us.
