The playhouse was a wonderful maritime experience! Buddy MacDonald and Rachel Davis performed. The oatcakes served during the break were incredible. The small gift shop was decently priced. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer to take in other performances.
$20 a person bought tickets to an enjoyalbe show featuring some corny jokes, a bit of dance and song by a talented four member cast.
An incredible show featuring Cape Bretton music with skits and jokes thrown in for good measure. Complementary tea and cakes top off this beautifully cozy and informal playhouse.
Been to 6 shows........not one was disappointing.Beautiful theatre, friendly staff, great performances & what a nice freebie.......tea & oatcakes at "halftime".
Terry Kelly is a Cape Breton singer and gave us a fun evening. The Playhouse is a really nice venue - not too big, so very intimate.
We booked our tickets for the show without knowing the entertainer. We were pleasantly surprised by Scott Phillips. He has a nice, soft, relaxing voice. We even bought his CD. The place is very intimate.
My friends and I had tickets to see a group, but unfortunately, the lead fiddler took ill and thus Shawn MacDonald (name sp?) was a quick substitution. He was no "second fiddle" as we enjoyed a two hour musical experience complete with history of traditional Cape music and took us to Ireland, Scotland and other places in Canada. He played a variety of incredible aires, marches, jigs and reels, and the playhouse hosted us for tea and oatcakes at intermission. We had a wonderful experience in a great venue with awesome acoustics. Of note, the playhouse had tried to contact us to advise of the change in performers and offered to refund, exchange or keep tickets, but glad we didn't get the call and decide not to attend tonight's concert. The staff have great customer service. Take advantage of this great venue!
The show was excellent. I cannot say enough about these four entertainers; they had amazing energy and talent. Even though Jennifer was a standout among the others, they all added their fair share to the evening's show. Don't miss this group; they are excellent.
We've seen two Celtic Colours shows here and enjoyed them both. The venue is comfortable and well-appointed, and the acoustics are quite good. Sightlines are terrific especially if you sit close. There's a fair bit of parking, too. We always sit close to the stage and can basically reach out and touch the performers. Really a great middle ground between an intimate club and a small theatre.
What a treat to find that Louisbourg has live theatre throughout the summer. Tickets are reasonably priced. We attended a musical presentation by Jonathan McInnis, an excellent vocalist and musician whose repertoire included songs by Elton John, Billy Joel and others as well as some of his own compositions. A nice mix, especially in the first half. Our only complaint was with the volume - way too loud for such a small space. At intermission complimentary tea and Nova Scotia Oatcakes were served on the mezzanine level - a very nice touch.
