King's Wharf Theatre

The King's Wharf Theatre is a beautifully redone building - formerly a wharehouse and loading dock for the historic Naval and Military Establishment (now Discovery Harbour), in Penetanguishene, it has been turned into a beautiful rustic theatre.

During the summer, the theatre is host to the Drayton Festival productions which features shows from Anne of Green Gables to Nunsense.

In the off-season, it is usually rented out for local events and productions.

This is a beautifully crafted theatre with not a bad seat in the entire house.

Cottaging in the area? Why not cruise in and park your boat at one of the Discovery Harbour Slips and enjoy a show!

 rockstarscheld Says:  I never stayed here, but I did work here. The rooms are really nice and clean, and there is ample room to dock your boat. There is a swimming pool, three bar areas, and a really great menu. The food is really good. See above

This is a Greek restaurant with Greek music playing softly in the background. The decor is totally Greek and the owner/chef can make an appearence throughout your meal.The food is excellent in taste and in price. The wait staff are very friendly and you won't be rushed out until you are ready to leave.
