Artistic Director's Message

Oh What A Season!

A Message from Artistic Director David Connolly

Hello!

At Drayton Entertainment, our 2026 season is not just a lineup of shows – it’s a shared sky, shaped by imagination,  
connection, and wonder. 

Whether you’re joining us with friends, family, students, or arriving on your own, you’re invited to step into this luminous collection of unforgettable stories. Wherever you are in life, we hope there is a show in this season that will lighten and enlighten you – meant to meet you right where you are.  

Our 2026 Season includes 20 productions spanning over 850 performances across our 7 stages: Drayton Festival Theatre, Huron Country Playhouse in Grand Bend, King’s Wharf Theatre in Penetanguishene, St. Jacobs Country Playhouse, Hildebrand Schoolhouse Theatre St. Jacobs, and Hamilton Family Theatre Cambridge. 

Our popular subscription packages offer the best value – mix and match any show, for any date, at any venue, for one great price. The more productions you choose, the more you save!  We’ve added even more Discount Dates to the schedule, plus our Post-Show Question & Answer panels at select performances, which present a unique opportunity to interact with our performers and learn more about the production.  Look for these free sessions on the show calendars (marked as Q&A). 

Whatever productions and venues you frequent this season, thank you for choosing to spend your time with us. We can’t wait to welcome you, share in the magic, and see where the next chapter takes us – together. 

Warmly,

David Connolly
Artistic Director
