Fix The Roof - Go Fund Me
February 21, 2024
Help! The roof of Canada's only horse drawn theatre caravan - Théâtre Roulant - has sprung a leak! As we ready our 2024 season - our most exciting year yet - we have discovered fault lines in the caravan roof which means $8 thousand dollars of repairs! We hope to have the work undertaken in April of this year on site in Bloomfield, Ontario and ready in time for our horses, Susie and Sarah to pull our Théâtre Roulant caravan through Prince Edward County's Canada Day parade. We have engaged the expertise of a veteran roofing contractor familiar with arched roof design which is a signature style of historic travelling caravans.
This season will feature - count them - THREE world premiere stage plays including one by Maureen Jennings - the author of MURDOCH MYSTERIES!
We are pleased to receive any amount of donations toward our 8-thousand-dollar goal by the end of April! Click HERE to donate.
Thank you from all of us!
Behind The Scenes with Théâtre Roulant
JANUARY 12, 2024
We have been working on updating our website. You may have noticed that we are now highlighting Theatre Roulant with our parent company, Station Road Arts Collective, taking a bit of a back seat until our rolling caravan is more established. This will bring the focus to our brand and hopefully make it more recognizable to all. Our season line-up is starting to take shape! We don’t have all the details nailed down yet but we know what we want to do and we are working hard to make it all happen. A reminder to sign up for our monthly news letter so when the details are ready, you’ll know.
Happy New Year!

Susie and Sara braved the cold to pull our caravan through the Bloomfield Santa Claus Parade on November 24, 2023. We were delighted to hand out 200 cans of Sprague beans from our generous 2023-2024 Season Sponsor.

We were honoured to be hosted by The Cape for our fundraising Jubilee which launched our 2023 run of Back Of Hoards Station. Guests had a fabulous time enjoying delicious food provided by local chef Charlie Daye, pizza by Gus’s Family Restaurant, boozy popsicles and curated cocktails designed by The Cape. Local auctioneer Boyd Sullivan entertained everyone with his wit and flair as he conducted our auction of items donated by local businesses. Bubbles, goats, inflatable cows and music provided by Rita Di Ghent & Sam (The Shark) provided the perfect atmosphere for a magical night.
