About The Ross Creek Centre for the Arts & Two Planks and a Passion Theatre

The Ross Creek Centre for the Arts gives voice to Canadians through the arts, bringing together the best in arts education for youth with community and professional artist programs for regional, national and international constituents. 

Two Planks and a Passion Theatre's mission is to commission, develop and disseminate new Canadian drama, and to create unique adaptations of acknowledged classics for outdoor performance, and creating arts outreach to help solve social issues in our community. 

History 

The Ross Creek Centre grew out of Two Planks and a Passion Theatre, which was a touring company founded in 1992. The Centre was developed in response to a need we saw in the wider community for connection between young people and high quality arts education, and for a residency that brought artists together in a retreat setting. Since then we have hosted thousands of youth for our March Break and SummerArts camps and school programs; community members of all ages for our arts workshops, gallery exhibits and community outreach and artists from around the world for our residency program.

Two Planks moved from a touring company to creating large scale outdoor productions at Ross Creek and is now the award-winning resident theatre of the Centre, creating a magical experience for thousands of visitors each summer.
