The Victoria Playhouse in Petrolia is one of 45 recipients of the Ontario Cultural Attractions Fund.
$50,000 has been set aside to support the theatre’s 2017 schedule with shows like “Fiddler on the Moose,” “The Birds and the Bees,” and “Folks Like Us.”
In all, over $2.8 million is being doled out to helps strengthen cultural tourism, which the province says boosts local economies, creates jobs and draws visitors to communities across Ontario.
