4th Line Theatre

For 33 years, the theatre company in the Township of Cavan Monaghan has brought history to life on its outdoor stage at the Winslow Farm 

While agriculture plays a crucial role in Peterborough County’s economy, the Winslow Farm has grown a different type of crop for more than three decades — one that draws more than 17,000 people each summer to the picturesque Millbrook farm. 

Now in its 33rd season, 4th Line Theatre has been bringing Canadian history to life on its outdoor stage since 1992. 

Under the artistic direction of founder Robert Winslow until 2014, when his long-time collaborator Kim Blackwell took on the role, the not-for-profit organization presents original Canadian plays, written by and about Canadians, that chronicle and explore the region’s cultural heritage. All of this is done on the outdoor barnyard stage of the rustic fifth-generation family farm in the Township of Cavan Monaghan, one of eight townships in Peterborough County.
