I received word today about the 2025 season for Gananoque’s Thousand Islands Playhouse. Although I could not attend today’s information session, I was anticipating what would be in store for this regional theatre in one of Ontario’s beautiful summer/fall excursions.

This morning, October 17, at 10 a.m., the Managing Artistic Director Brett Christopher relayed how excited he was to announce the 2025 season:

“On the heels of a record-breaking season, I am so grateful to our audiences who visit us each summer in Gananoque.”

Christopher reported the following statistics for the Playhouse:

Total box office sales have passed $1.6 million for the 2024 season, exceeding last year’s total of $1.5 million. The year before the pandemic was $1.18 million . In 2024, it was over 80%. In 2023, it was over 78%.

Four of the seven shows for the 2025 season are Canadian. Brett looks forward to building the creative teams over the next few months.
