The Thousand Islands Playhouse was called "the most charming theatre in Canada" (CBC Radio) in a "breathtaking location" (Toronto Star). Known as Canada's Dockside Theatre, it has been presenting live entertainment in the heart of the 1000 Islands for over 35 years. Its Springer Theatre features two decks that have a panoramic view of the St. Lawrence River. This renovated heritage venue, built in 1909, was originally the Gananoque Canoe Club, and retains the vintage cottage-style craftsmanship. Patrons can arrive to a show by water and dock right in front of the theatre.
