Globus Theatre, providing a platform for theatre professionals from around the world.

Globus Theatre is a professional theatre company offering an eclectic and thoroughly entertaining mix of comedy, music & drama throughout the summer; and murder mysteries, plays, comedy nights and panto at other times of the year. Established in 2003 by Sarah Quick and James Barrett to provide the Kawartha Lakes with a producing professional theatre company, in 2006 Globus became the company in residence at the Lakeview Arts Barn. Once a working cattle barn, the Lakeview Arts Barn, is now a comfortable and contemporary 150 seat theatre with an attached restaurant - providing patrons with the option to enjoy a dining experience prior to each show (reservations essential).

Globus Theatre has embarked on a $2 million capital campaign for our own venue - the Lakeview Arts Barn (LAB)!

With the $2 million, Globus Theatre would be able to purchase the LAB in its entirety with a portion of funds raised going to areas that are in need of repair - such as the roof. This project will transition Globus Theatre from being the theatre in residence of the LAB to Globus owning its own venue - a building that has been a social meeting place in this community for over 50 years!

The task ahead is a monumental one, but Globus has already received the support from many in the community. This launch is spurred on by the backing of $1 million - 50% of our goal - from anonymous donors, along with over $300,000 pledged and donated from stakeholders and supporters of the theatre. With the theatre approaching its 20th season next year, your donation will help us to reach the goal, ensuring that Globus Theatre will have its own building by the end of 2023!
