King's Wharf Theatre

King's Wharf Theatre Nestled within Discovery Harbour on the shores of Georgian Bay in Penetanguishene, the King's Wharf

In January 1999, newspaper headlines heralded the news that the Drayton Festival Theatre had been chosen by the Ontario Government to assume operation of the King’s Wharf Theatre in Penetanguishene. Situated on the shore of Georgian Bay and flanked by tall ships and historic buildings, the King’s Wharf Theatre is nestled within Discovery Harbour, an original nineteenth century British naval and mi

litary base. The King’s Wharf Theatre inaugural production was the musical Me and My Girl. When the 11-week season closed on September 4, 1999, the King’s Wharf Theatre had welcomed more than 20,000 visitors. This once again demonstrated that Drayton Entertainment’s unique business model could flourish at other locations.

We're jumping for joy because Sister Act opens tonight at the King's Wharf Theatre!

Based on the hit film starring Whoopi Goldberg, Sister Act follows Deloris Van Cartier, a disco diva on the run after witnessing a crime. Forced to hide in a convent under the guise of a nun, Deloris struggles to fit in with the quiet, structured life of the sisters. But when she brings her dazzling energy and show-stopping voice to the choir, she helps the nuns discover their own harmony — and, in the process, rediscovers herself.

King's Wharf Theatre: Now through June 27
