Shakespearean Classics by the Banks of the St. Lawrence River
If you've never been to Prescott before to experience our unique riverside amphitheatre, we hope you'll take the opportunity this summer to take advantage of what is fast becoming the premier outdoor theatre experience along the Seaway. Always lively and exciting, our music-filled productions bring Shakespeare to life. And 2010 is a special year as we join the celebrations of Prescott's 200th birthday.
So pack up your picnic and head down to the harbour - we're looking forward to seeing you!
