Louisbourg Playhouse

You can take in traditional Cape Breton music and other entertainments nightly in August (and sporadically throughout the year) at the Louisbourg Playhouse, a 17th-century-style theater that was modeled after Shakespeare's Globe. Originally constructed as part of the Disney movie set for Squanto: A Warrior's Tale, the venue was donated to the community in 1994 after filming wrapped.
