52 years ago Huron Country Playhouse Guild was formed to assist and support the theatre, both financially and operationally. Huron Country Playhouse Guild Members are extremely dedicated volunteers who raise money exclusively for the use of Huron Country Playhouse. The Shoppe is at the heart of their fundraising efforts and draws numerous talented artisans to their door. From precious hand-crafted jewellery, to beautiful ‘made with love’ baby clothes, to their famous ‘attic treasures’ and everything in between, every piece tells a story and adds a bit of charm to their shelves. Most certainly there is something for everyone! Currently, they are excited to introduce some theatre-related merchandise for sale. While enjoying the theatre today, please drop into this delightful Shoppe to browse through exquisite items on display.
The Guild is always looking for new vendors with new and exciting ideas.
