902 582 3073 To make great theatre, you need two planks to stand on and the passion to do it.

Two Planks and a Passion Theatre is an award-winning professional company which gives voice to Canadians through theatre. We perform magical outdoor shows at the Ross Creek Centre for the Arts in the summer and work with the community and students through extensive outreach and education.

As our 35th season closes, and the cast and crew depart from Ross Creek, we'd like to extend another show of appreciation to everyone who helped make this season happen.

In response to provincial budget cuts earlier this year, there was an uncertainty as to whether this landmark season would happen at all.

A huge part of why we were able to go ahead with the season was because of these generous sponsors, partners, and supporters.

To our production Sponsors Enterprise Law Group (for "The Wind Coming Over The Sea" and Kimball Law (for "The Monkey's Paw" — thank you.

To our season partners at Benjamin Bridge (Benjamin Bridge Vineyards | Certified B Corp ), The Noodle Guy (The Noodle Guy ), Annapolis Fine Cheese (Annapolis Fine Cheese ), The Farmhouse Inn B&B (Farmhouse Inn B&B ), and Tangled Garden (Tangled Garden ) — your continued support is pivotal, and we encourage all our patrons and visitors to support these businesses all year long.

And of course, a thank you to Arts Nova Scotia (Arts Nova Scotia ), The Craig Foundation, Canada Council for the Arts (Canada Council for the Arts ), and the Department of Canadian Heritage (Canadian Heritage )

Theatre needs your support now more than ever, and we thank you for supporting us 🧡

Adapting to our environment is one of the beauties of creating outdoor theatre, and of course, sometimes, it rains outside.

To keep our By Fire series going during inclement weather/indoor performances, or when provincial burn restrictions prevent open fires, we had to adapt.

Our technical director, John Thomson, created an artificial fire set piece that we use to keep that fiery glow burning for our evening performances! While an artificial fire won't give off any heat, it still immerses us in the timeless tradition of telling stories in the dark.

The folks over at Annapolis Fine Cheese have joined us as one of our Season Partners this year, and we couldn't be happier to have them as part of the team.

We feature some of their cheeses in our Picnic packages that many of you have enjoyed over the summer — if you're making the trip to see the show's over the next two weeks before the season closes, why not grab one of the picnics and see for yourself why we had to have Annapolis Fine Cheese products as part of them!

Based here in the Annapolis Valley, everything this family company does is inspired by the timeless traditions of French and Swiss cheesemaking, but with 100% Nova Scotian milk and local ingredients. Their artisanal cheeses are crafted to match the inspiring wineries, orchards, and farms of the region.
