The Grove Guild
The Grove Guild is a community for theatre lovers who want to go deeper — behind the curtain, beyond the performance, and into the heart of live theatre.
Engage. Educate. Entertain.
The Grove Guild was born from a simple belief: live theatre becomes more exciting and fulfilling when you truly understand it. We're a club-like community of theatre patrons and like-minded people who gather monthly to connect, learn, and go deeper — together building a richer relationship with The Grove Theatre year-round, even through the off-season.
Each gathering brings a qualified guest from the theatre industry into an intimate, conversation-style interview. Past guests have included the Artistic Director, Technical Director, Production Manager, Music Director, and performing artists — the people who actually build what you see on stage.
The result?
Personal enrichment, genuine theatre appreciation, and a front-row seat to the creative process.
How it Works
-
When & Where
We meet on the last Tuesday of each month, 4:15-5:45 pm at the Fenelon Falls United Church, 123 Colborne St. in Fenelon Falls.
-
The Format
A casual, interview-style conversation with a professional guest from the theatre industry — about one hour, with time to mingle before and after.
-
The Experience
Gatherings are relaxed and social. Come for the insight, stay for the conversation. Light refreshments are served and new friends are made.
Who We’ve Heard From
Every month, a new voice from the industry pulls back the curtain. Here's a taste of who we've sat down with.
