Fredericton Playhouse

A gift from Lord and Lady Beaverbrook to the people of New Brunswick in 1964, the space was renovated in 1972 into a 709 seat modern facility for the presentation of the performing arts by local, national, and international artists and companies. To that end, it hosts musicals and contemporary dramas, music of all genres, comedians, and dance—the mix of productions is eclectic. The Playhouse is adjacent to the Provincial Legislature and across the street from the Beaverbrook Art Gallery. If you are travelling with children, look into their Kidstage Series.
