When a retired couple leaves the countryside for highrise living in the city, they leave their old home in the hands of a “nice young man.” But it’s harder than they thought to leave the country behind, and often return to visit the old homestead.

The Canadian
July 27 – August 18
Check showtimes and buy tickets
A small-town waterfront resort falls on hard times and is forced to face the reality of its inevitable bankruptcy and the threat of condo developers lurking offshore. Just when all hope is lost, an eccentric Hollywood writer swoops in with the cash that just might save the day. But can the resort meet the writer’s list of demands?
Midsummer (a Play With Songs)
August 10 – September 2
Check showtimes and buy tickets
This dysfunctional rom-com tosses sketchy low-life Bob and adulterous (and high-powered divorce lawyer) Helena together in an ill-advised tryst that neither of them could have predicted. Midsummer does it what it says on the tin: you’re in for a play with songs that warns for “strong language and sexy content.”
Prairie Nurse
August 24 – September 15
Check showtimes and buy tickets
Set in small-town Saskatchewan in the 1960s, two Filipina nurses find themselves the latest employees of a local hospital. Cultures clash as the two women struggle to distinguish their night and day personalities to the townsfolk, including the man who falls in love with one of them only to accidentally court them both.
Located a quick 30-minute drive east of Kingston, a trip to the Thousand Islands Playhouse should be on the top of your list of things to do this summer! For more information on this cool, historical playhouse or for their full season lineup, check out their website.
