Just outside of the small Ontario town of Millbrook lies one of Canada’s best-kept theatre secrets – the 4th Line Theatre Company. With an outdoor stage made up of an array of century old barns and the surrounding countryside, the setting itself is more than worth the price of admission.

Idyllic, rural, and quintessentially Canadian, each year the 4th Line Theatre Company runs two or three Canadian plays – written by and about Canadians: small town stories or broad national sagas that touch a nerve in all of us.

Located on the Zion (4th) Line. Visit the website for a detailed map.
