From 2010 to 2019, the Classic Theatre Festival (a project of Burning Passions Theatre) produced the Classic Hits of Broadway and the London Stage in Perth, Ontario, with the finest professional talent from across Canada. In addition, our youth troupe presented historic theatrical walking plays each summer: Perth through the Ages, and The Lonely Ghosts Walk, as well as the Classic Dinner Theatre.
Sadly, in 2020, the Festival had to suspend operations due to the Covid epidemic.
The company has now moved to Ottawa, and will relaunch the Festival in 2022 at Arts Court Theatre!
