Collingwood: Theatre Collingwood announces its 2025 season

Wednesday, December 18, 2024

I am so excited to announce our 2025 playbill, a great mixture of music performances, comedy, theatre and music with storytelling. As for our theme….it is a celebration of the “change makers” in our world. Those who bring their stories and songs to us and make our world a better and more empathetic place to live. We are living in some difficult times now and I truly feel, more than ever, that theatre and the arts help us to find joy! Enjoy! – Erica Angus
