About
Nestled within Discovery Harbour on Georgian Bay, the King's Wharf Theatre is a pleasantly rustic, 385-seat venue that offers all the comforts of a modern facility. Flanked by the historic buildings of a 19th-century British naval and military base, the theatre is located at the end of a beautiful boardwalk that looks on to the homeport of replica ships H.M.S. Bee and H.M.S. Tecumseth. A visit to the King's Wharf Theatre takes only 45 minutes from Barrie and Orillia, or just over an hour from Collingwood. While in the area, explore the communities of Penetanguishene and Midland, which offer unique shops and dining establishments. You'll also want to discover such treasures as Ontario's first European Community at Sainte-Marie among the Hurons.

King's Wharf - professional shows
Aug. 2019 • Family
A quaint small town theatre on majestic Georgian Bay with big city actors. Our best kept secret. The interactive pantos are loved by the kids.

Shear madness was excellent!
Aug. 2019
Went to see Shear Madness at King's Wharf. The laughter began even before the show started and continued all the way through. It is one of the best shows I have been too. Love this theatre! Great job to everybody involved. Looking forward to seeing more there. This was only my second show there but they never disappoint. First show was Million Dollar Quartet. Another great performance.

the trip to Penetang was worth it!!
Aug. 2019
Excellent show, really great cast pulled this one off in fine style, the whole experience of travelling a few hours to go see a show, we are from St Thomas, ON, as a first time show in this venue was worth every penny we spent to do it. Kudos to the Quality Inn, Midland , the Dock Lunch, Penetang and PIE Wood Fired Pizza, Midland for adding the "Wow" to our experience.

Shear Mayhem
Aug. 2019
This is one of the funniest plays I have ever seen. Because of the interplay with the audience, you don't know what is going to happen. The ad libs and local flavoured humour are hilarious. This is our 3rd time.

We shall return.
