This project is deeply rooted in the social, cultural and economic development of Fenelon Falls and prioritizes our relationship with the local community. The space and productions were initially conceived from a Downtown Revitalization standpoint. The overarching goal is to create an attraction that brings multi-day visitors and engages the community. We have established key relationships with the Fenelon Falls Chamber of Commerce and its member businesses, as well as with the City of Kawartha Lakes, specifically with its economic development department. Both strongly support The Grove Theatre project. Our model includes community use of the venue for everything from community theatre and concerts to faith services, ceremonies and celebrations of all kinds. This amphitheatre is a significant addition to the facilities of Fenelon Falls and the surrounding area. 

We hold ourselves to the highest artistic and professional standards and dedicate ourselves to creating exceptional work on stage and within the community.

We embrace a diversity of people, ideas and cultures, enriching our art, our audiences, our workplace and our community at large. This includes a commitment to create space for people with developmental and/or physical disabilities. Educational camps and fully inclusive employment opportunities are part of that commitment. By instituting inclusive best practices in our early years, we affirm our dedication to a model that treats inclusion as standard protocol.

We are committed to the responsible use of all the resources entrusted to us in order to best sustain our organization, our community and the environment.
