Niagara's own Carousel Players is one of Canada’s oldest and most respected professional theatre for young audience companies. Founded in 1972, Carousel has performed 214 productions to more than 2.8 million children, youth and families predominantly in Ontario.
Monica Dufault, Artistic Director of Carousel Players, is a graduate of the National Theatre School of Canada, and started her career in theatre as an actor working with Shaw Festival, National Arts Centre / Centre national des Arts, Theatre Aquarius, and Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre. Monica has acted in many plays for young audiences with Manitoba Theatre For Young People, Prairie Theatre Exchange, and especially with Carousel Players, and was nominated for a Dora Award for her performance in Carousel’s production of Where the Wild Things Are. As a playwright, she wrote an adaptation of Kenneth Oppel’s Peg and the Yeti, which has been produced by Carousel Players and other theatres across Canada. Monica was the Artistic Director of Essential Collective Theatre from 2014 to 2018, where she directed 12 productions, including The Welland Canal Play. For Carousel Players, Monica has directed Hare & Tortoise, Whole World, The Incredible Adventures of Mary Jane Mosquito and Water Wonder.

FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre
Each Year the FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre hosts Culture days Activities.
The FirstOntario Performing Arts Centre is a large purpose-built cultural complex located in downtown St. Catharines, Ontario. It opened in 2015 as the result of a partnership between the City of St. Catharines and Brock University, which share the venue for production, performance and learning purposes. It comprises four separate venues: a 770-seat concert hall (Partridge Hall), 300-seat recital hall, 210-seat multi-purpose dance/theatre venue (Robertson Theatre), and the 199-seat Film House.
The creation of the centre spurred a cultural and economic renaissance in downtown St. Catharines along with its neighbouring Meridian Centre and Brock University's Marilyn I. Walker School of Fine and Performing Arts.
