Neptune Theatre (Halifax)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Neptune Theatre is the largest professional theatre company in Atlantic Canada and is located in downtown Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. It performs a mixture of new and classical plays.
The Neptune was originally constructed during Canada's drive to create regional theatres on the site of a former cinema in 1963. It was renovated in 1997 and now has two theatres and incorporates a theatre school.
From April to July 2007, the theatre staged its most successful production[citation needed] - Beauty and the Beast. The play was performed 127 times, breaking a record previously held by Cats in 2004. Beauty and the Beast was directed by Ron Ulrich and starred Julie Martell as Belle and George Masswohl as the Beast. It also featured Rejean Cournoyer, Martha Irving, Hank Stinson and Jeremy Webb.
