The Baddeck Theater plans to return to the stage later this year with four shows
BADDECK, NS – The Baddeck Theater is bringing back the theater in person, with four shows, including the revival of their holiday production.

“Attendance was higher than expected and we received rave reviews. It showed that audiences were very eager to return to the theater even with the COVID-19 restrictions.”
