Placentia Area Theatre d'Heritage is a non-profit organization established in 1994. Organizers formed a committee which in turn laid a framework for a theatre troupe. Over the past 18 years our troupe has presented a living interpretation of significant parts of our French and English history. We provide visitors and locals with entertainment that is culturally accurate, we also assist in promoting the tourist industry of the area. Each year the cast is composed of students as well as adults.

FACES OF FORT ROYAL

Performed at the Castle Hill National Historic site, "Faces of Fort Royal" will transport you back in time to 1696.  During this 40 minute historical drama you will meet the Governor, the merchant, soldiers, as well as the common fisherman and their families.  All of these people are trying to carry on the business of living in a harsh environment surrounded by enemies.

Monday - Friday @ 2:00 pm (weather permitting). Donations accepted.
