The Louisbourg Playhouse was
originally built in 1993 at the Fortress of Louisbourg
as a set piece for the Walt Disney movie "Squanto: A Warrior's Tale".
After the film was completed, the structure was donated to the community
on the condition that it be removed from the Fortress. During the fall of 1993,
the theatre was dismantled and relocated to its current location on Aberdeen Street.
The show we saw at the playhouse was "Spirit of the Island". It had singing,
music
and jokes mainly about Cape Breton. One of the performers, Kimberly Fraser,
plays Celtic fiddle and step dances at the same time. We enjoyed the show.
