Mulgrave Road Theatre's roots in Nova Scotia extend back to 1977, when a group of energetic young artists and playwrights founded the company in historic Guysborough County.From its earliest beginnings, the company's vision has been to create, develop and produce theatre inspired by the Nova Scotia experience. From small beginnings in Eastern Nova Scotia, the company and its extended family of artists have made an enormous contribution to the growth of Canadian theatre.Many of the works originating at Mulgrave Road have gone on to be produced by other theatres across Canada, including Daniel MacIvor's plays Marion Bridge and How It Works, Mary-Colin Chisholm's Safe Haven and He'd Be Your Mother's Father's Cousin, Robbie O'Neill's Tighten the Traces, Carol Sinclair's Idyll Gossip, Cindy Cowan's Beinn Bhreagh, Frank MacDonald's Assuming I'm Right, Michael Melski's Caribou, and The Satchmo Suite, written by Doug Innis and Hans Böggild.

Festival Antigonish Summer Theatre is committed to developing an understanding and appreciation for theatre within the community through the production of high quality professional work. Within this mandate we strive to create a supportive environment for Nova Scotia artists to hone their talents and present, produce and develop new work. The repertory nature of Festival Antigonish supports a balanced selection of Canadian and International works, providing an opportunity for established and emerging theatre artists to take on new challenges. The Festival's artistic choices emphasize the legitimacy and unique character of Nova Scotian Theatre, and provide all age groups in the community with access to a range of theatre.

Last year, Festival Antigonish celebrated its twenty-sixth season. Each summer, around 10,000 patrons from around Nova Scotia and beyond enjoy acclaimed theatre for all ages. For every one of those years Festival Antigonish has been supported by generous annual donors who appreciate how a thriving professional theatre enhances the quality of life in our region and makes a significant economic impact in our community. As a not-for-profit organization, we depend on the support from our donors to help fill the gap between earned revenue (ticket sales) and the cost of mounting a season of this caliber. That's why we're inviting you to sign up for the Festival Antigonish Encore Fund. With our new Giving Plan you can choose monthly installments to suit your budget and spread your donation over time. Whatever the amount of your contribution, you do make a difference
