Homegrown Theatre in Atlantic Canada
EASTERN FRONT THEATRE
Homegrown Theatre in Downtown Dartmouth
Eastern Front Theatre was founded in 1993 as a Dartmouth-based company supporting the work of Atlantic Canadian playwrights. The original founders, Gay Hauser, Wendy Lill, and Mary Vingoe, brought a wealth of experience and nationally recognized talent to the company. They led the organization for nearly 10 years. Eastern Front Theatre was the resident theatre company at Alderney Landing in Dartmouth from 1999 to 2009. In 2009, Eastern Front Theatre relocated to Neptune Theatre’s Scotiabank Stage before moving home to Alderney Landing in 2021 under the guidance of current Artistic Director Kat McCormack and General Manager Elsa Pihl.
Over the past three decades, EFT has championed countless Atlantic Canadian artists through commissions, workshops, our annual Stages Theatre Festival, and development efforts like our Design Mentorship Program and Emerging Playwrights Unit. We have produced or presented over 200 original Canadian plays, 32 of which were World Premieres. EFT has four Governor General Award nominations, one Nova Scotia Masterworks nomination, and 19 Robert Merritt Awards (out of 79 nominations).
Eastern Front Theatre has a strong commitment to the hiring of Atlantic Canadian theatre artists. Throughout our history, the company has employed hundreds of local actors, directors, designers and technicians who have been given outstanding opportunities to produce their best work.
Situated in Downtown Dartmouth/Punamu'kwati'jk, Eastern Front Theatre has a strong record of community involvement; our partnerships with diverse community groups have built an inclusive atmosphere surrounding our operations. Together with the local community, we both explore and celebrate the Atlantic Canada.
