Where to see plays in Halifax
In spite of your lengthy Netflix queue, theatre lives on.

In spite of your lengthy Netflix queue, theatre lives on. Get out of the house and plop your bum in a seat at one of Halifax’s dramatic theatre venues.
Neptune Theatre (1593 Argyle Street) is the venerable and crowd-pleasing uncle of the local thespian scene. The coming season promises popular productions like Mary Poppins and The Comedy of Errors alongside smaller Canadian-penned works such as Michael Melski’s Hockey Mom, Hockey Dad.
The Bus Stop Theatre (2203 Gottingen Street) is a cosy black-box number which hosts a more colorful and artsy-fartsy crowd than the occasionally lamestream Neptune. Check out some freaky experimental stuff here at the annual Atlantic Fringe Theatre Festival from Sept. 1-8.
If you are one of those who dreams the universal dream of living in the limelight, get yourself out of the audience and on stage. Get involved with Dalhousie Theatre Society.
