Several businesses and twenty local artists are donating their work to this event and all proceeds go directly to Theatre Collingwood Association Inc. which has been entertaining the community since 1984. The not-for-profit charitable organization presents some of Canada’s most talented performers while fostering relationships with independent professional artists and other regional theatre companies. In 2021, they launched The PORCHSIDE Festival as a way to safely gather people together for outdoor music and theatre performances. The summer series has enjoyed a phenomenal second season and it will surely grow in years to come. Their drama education program includes week-long day-camps for children in both spring and summer. In 2022, they also created a popular 6-week storytelling workshop for seniors that has become an important part of the company's mandate to enrich the community with accessible programs and entertainment for all ages. Theatre Collingwood is a member of CACE, a grassroots community group that's working to build an arts, culture and entertainment centre in Collingwood. They are also a founding partner of the South Georgian Bay Arts Network that works to amplify the collective voice of the artistic community to advocate for space, time and funding needed to support creative work.
