Shakespeare by the Sea

SHAKESPEARE BY THE SEA: Atlantic Canada’s longest-running outdoor theater performs in beautiful Point Pleasant Park on a Victorian-era military battery.

Robin Hood: The Legendary Musical Comedy

Get ready to laugh your tights off—ROBIN HOOD: The Legendary Musical Comedy (Best Theatre Production 2011/2012 by Coast Magazine’s BEST OF Halifax) is back and bolder than ever for its 20th anniversary! This riotously funny, fast-paced musical helped launch a tradition of family theatre in the Park.

Matt Lacas (SBTS: Twelfth Night, Alice in Wonderland) leads the merry band as the dashing Robin Hood, and in a deliciously dastardly twist, SBTS favourite Jade Douris-O’Hara takes a wicked turn as the nefarious Prince John.

So grab your bow, gather your merry crew, and don’t miss the return of the show that stole Halifax’s heart—ROBIN HOOD: The Legendary Musical Comedy is back, and it’s funnier than ever!

As You Like It: The Walkabout Experience

Shakespeare’s As You Like It: The Walkabout Experience is a joyful, music-filled adventure through Point Pleasant Park, reviving a beloved SBTS tradition of moving audiences through the Park alongside the play, immersing them in the magic of live theatre in nature and discovering new scenes around every bend.

The production features an all-new original score by local singer/songwriter Eliza Rhinelander (Merritt Award nominee for Outstanding Original Score – Twelfth Night 2024), performed live by beloved Halifax Musician Ian Sherwood (ECMA winner, multiple Music Nova Scotia Award nominations) as Rosalind’s banished father.

Starring Melanie Leon (SBTS: Hamlet, Cinderelly) as the clever and courageous Rosalind, this As You Like It is a heartfelt celebration of love in all its forms—romantic, familial, and delightfully unexpected!

Unrehearsed Romeo & Juliet

By: William Shakespeare

Following the rainy, yet utterly unforgettable success of The Unrehearsed Macbeth—SBTS’ biggest audience in over 20 years—Shakespeare by the Sea is closing out our 32nd summer season with what’s sure to be the theatrical event of the year: UNREHEARSED ROMEO AND JULIET.

Shakespeare’s most iconic love story will explode onto the stage in a way you’ve never seen before—and never will again. For this one-night-only spectacular, SBTS’ brave and bold cast will learn their lines, craft their own costumes, and embrace the unpredictable magic of live, unrehearsed theatre. Will it be chaos? Absolutely. Will it be hilarious, heartfelt, and totally unforgettable? You better believe it.

Trust us—you do not want to miss this one. It’s bold. It’s bonkers. You have to see it to believe it.
