Attending a production at 4th Line Theatre is an extraordinary experience. We stage our plays outdoors; the barns of the old Winslow Farm our backdrop, the setting summer sun our stage light, and the surrounding meadows our expanse of theatre. Located just outside of the small Ontario town of Millbrook -- the setting alone is more than worth the price of admission. Committed to preserving and promoting our Canadian cultural heritage, 4th Line Theatre environmentally stages regionally based, historical dramas with national echoes. Season subscriptions, gift certificates, pre-ordered picnics and accommodation packages are available. The concession & picnic area is available after 4 pm. Located just twenty minutes southwest of Peterborough and just over an hour's drive from Toronto. Directions: From Toronto - East on 401 to #115 Highway, travel north to Millbrook exit. Follow theatre signs. From Kingston - West on 401 to #28 Highway North, exit at Millbrook. Follow theatre signs.

Eldorado Town - The Port Hope Play

Drama
By: Charles Hayter

Preview: 6/29/2010
Opening Night: 7/1/2010
Runs: 6/29/2010 to 7/24/2010

The 2010 season begins with Eldorado Town - The Port Hope Play by Charles Hayter which examines how a small Ontario town played a significant role in ending WW II and in the coming of the nuclear age. The play, set between 1930 and 1946, tells the story of radium and uranium refining from the viewpoint of Eldorado Gold Mines Limited’s owners, workers, town residents and the idealistic French chemist, Marcel Pochon, a protégé of Marie Curie, who oversaw the refining and promoted the healing powers of radium. The history of radium and uranium refining in Port Hope is a rich story that points to both the healing power of science and the destructive capability of its discoveries. The story of Eldorado and Port Hope illustrates these themes on a local level and the play will give people some historical context for the complex controversies of today.

The Right Road to Pontypool

Comedy
By: Alex Poch-Goldin

Preview: 8/2/2010
Opening Night: 8/4/2010
Runs: 8/2/2010 to 8/28/2010

4th Line Theatre’s 19th season ends with the return of last season’s wildly successful The Right Road to Pontypool which became a sold-out audience favourite and had the critics calling it “remarkable,” “magnificent” and saying it “should not be missed.” The Right Road to Pontypool is the little known true story of how a small village in Ontario became a summer haven for thousands of Jewish immigrants between 1916 and the early 1960s. In the era when the signs at Sunnyside Beach in Toronto said “No Dogs or Jews Allowed” and when Jews in Europe were facing unimaginable peril, the village of Pontypool Ontario became a retreat for thousands of Jewish immigrants, the “needlers” and “cut & sew” workers from Kensington Market and the Spadina garment district. Pontypool was Toronto's own little Catskills resort.
