🌟 DONOR THANKS! 🌟
Protocase Inc. has long been a hugely valued supporter of Theatre Baddeck, and last year they took their commitment to an extraordinary new level by becoming a major supporter of our Doors Open Campaign. Their generosity is truly remarkable, and their belief in our mission with the Greenwood Arts Centre continues to inspire and encourage us.

Please join us in thanking them for their support!

CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS!
We are recruiting volunteers to join our fantastic Front of House team! All our ushers, bartenders, and box office attendants are generous volunteers from our community and we want YOU to join us. All volunteers get a Theatre Baddeck t-shirt and see our shows for free! This is a great way to get a behind-the-curtain look at how theatre is made, meet new people, and have fun. Our end-of-summer volunteer party is a true highlight of our year! If you are interested in learning more or have questions email Co-AP Hannah Ziss at [email protected]

⭐️ MORE DONOR NEWS! ⭐️
We are continuing to highlight major support that has made our renovations at Greenwood possible over the past 18 months. Without further ado - Centre Bras D’Or! Many in this community will remember this much loved arts institution that operated in Baddeck for more than 25 years, starting in 1985. In formally dissolving last year, Centre Bras d’Or chose to cement their legacy as a cultural touchstone in this community by contributing their remaining funds to Theatre Baddeck so we can carry the torch of bringing high quality entertainment to this community. We could not be more grateful for their support! Here are past board members Tanis Delaney and Shauna MacDonald with Co-Artistic Producers Christy and Hannah on opening night of Ed’s Garage (July 2025).

“On behalf of everyone from near and far who nurtured Centre Bras d’Or and savoured its offerings, it is truly befitting that Theatre Baddeck be gifted the funds that remained in the Centre Bras d’Or account on its recent dissolution. No longer can it be said there is not a dedicated performance venue in the Village of Baddeck. Bravo!!!”- Sharon Morrow, Centre Bras d’Or Founding Member

YOU can join Centre Bras d’Or in ensuring Theatre Baddeck’s ongoing cultural and economic impact on Cape Breton Island by making a donation today. Visit www.theatrebaddeck.com/updates to learn about the status of renovations and how a donation now will make a huge impact.

Congratulations to Dan Parker and Rachel Plowman, the lucky (and very generous!) winners of our custom wood bench!

Handcrafted by our 2025 stage manager, Tim Yakimec, from locally sourced driftwood, this one-of-a-kind piece inspired plenty of excitement in last year’s silent auction. Dan placed the winning bid, and every dollar will go directly toward our Doors Open Campaign in support of renovations at Greenwood. Thank you Dan and Rachel!

🌟 MAJOR DONATIONS NEWS! 🌟
We are thrilled to share that John and Kathy Harrington have donated $65,000 to Theatre Baddeck! Their generosity has made it possible for us to piece together a work plan for 2026/27 and keep the renovations going at Greenwood. Audiences will know John Harrington from his participation in Charles Dickens Writes A Christmas Carol in December 2025. He and his wife Kathy live in Nyanza and are great champions of Theatre Baddeck and our mission. We could not be more grateful for them and their support.

We have received several other major donations in the past year. We will be highlighting those special supporters in the coming weeks so they get their own spotlight!
