FIELD TRIPS

Looking to catch some incredible summer theatre outside of the city?

Maybe make a few fun stops en route? Well, what better way to do all that than with a good old fashioned Field Trip! Let us do the driving in a comfortable passenger bus with wifi and air conditioning. We'll make some stops along the way so you can enjoy some scenery and snacks, art and shopping, and of course -- a meal! All of this will culminate in the main event: a performance at one of Nova Scotia's incredible rural professional theatre companies.

Before or after the shows we'll have an exclusive chat with some of the artists involved before we make one last stop at the market for an ice cream or a snack on the way home. 

Tickets are $145 for each trip, including lunch!

Book your seats online by clicking the links below, or call us in the office at 902-466-2769!
