About Us
The Harbourfront Theatre opened its doors in 1996, the result
of more than a decade of tireless effort on the part of a group of
Summerside citizens with a vision to create a state of the art,
multi purpose performing arts facility in Prince County. The
theatre, along with the Eptek Art & Culture Centre and the PEI
Sports Hall of Fame, is housed in The Wyatt Centre, aptly
named after one of the facility's major contributors, Dr. Wanda
Wyatt.
The Harbourfront Theatre is owned by the Regional Cultural Events Centre, a registered non-profit organization managed by a board of directors, general manager, and director of operations, and boasts a friendly, knowledgeable, professional staff and a dedicated core of over 70 volunteers. Its mandate is to provide a continuous live entertainment service to the Island community and its visitors, featuring both local and touring productions, while being the driving force within the community to encourage and nurture the development and appreciation of the performing arts. The facility is ideally suited to a myriad of uses, including plays, concerts, opera, ballet, comedy & magic shows, conferences, seminars, receptions, business mixers, trade shows and public forums. Beautifully appointed and state of the art equipped, the Harbourfront Theatre represents the best of both worlds – large enough to host renowned touring acts, yet small enough so that every one if its 527 seats captures a uniquely intimate performer/audience experience.
