Where We Are

The Thousand Islands Playhouse theatres are nestled on the banks of the St Lawrence River in Gananoque, (Gan-an-ock-way) Ontario. We're situated perfectly - half way between Toronto & Montreal, under two hours from Ottawa, and about 15 minutes from the 1000 Islands International Bridge. Gananoque is a charming community with many fine dining establishments, a busy Boat Line running cruises of the wonderful 1000 Islands area hourly, a bustling main street and a Charity Casino. Add in a few pleasant day trips to historic Kingston with its gorgeous boutique and funky eatery-filled downtown, the artisan community of Merrickville, and of course all those islands make a stay in Gananoque the perfect getaway.
