The Harbourfront Players
Community Theatre
Summerside, Prince Edward Island
In 2004, the Harbourfront Theatre renewed its mandate
to nurture and develop the performing arts, and
embarked on a mission to find a resident community
performance troupe. The search led to the Kensington
Theatre Company, a popular theatre group with some 13
years experience to their credit, who were looking for a
stage to call their own. It was a meeting of minds and
talent. The partnership between stage (theatre) and
players (thespians) gave rise to the Harbourfront Players,
who, since their inception in early 2005, have
consistently produced quality, entertaining community
theatre. Productions such as Fools, Move Over Mrs.
Markham, Steel Magnolias, and The Foursome have
earned them multiple PEI Theatre Festival Awards and an
ever-increasing following.
This community theatre troupe offers the chance to
participate and enjoy stellar amateur theatre by local
performers in a professional setting, staging between 1
and 3 productions in an average year. The Players
welcome new talent in a multitude of areas, including
acting, production design, stage management and stage
work, promotion and marketing, sets, props, makeup and
hair. Want to get involved? Watch for news on our next
