The Company

The World's End Theatre Company produces professional theatre reflecting the diversity of life on Fogo Island and Change Islands, Newfoundland and Labrador.  Residents of the community participate in all aspects of the production, while the scenic islands serve as the backdrop for the stage.  World's End Theatre will regularly produce original performances that showcase the history, culture and experiences of Fogo Island.  These stories are told by the people who lived them.

Thanks to our wonderful cast, crew and audience for a successful World's End Theatre Festival 2009! [Click here to learn more.]

The Academy

Since January 2008, World's End Theatre Company has held classes and workshops in acting, scene study, storytelling and musical theatre!  The Academy is back into gear for the Fall/Winter season and we are pleased to announce the creation of a Youth Theatre Program which will take place annually from September - May.

What's On

Youth Theatre Workshop

March 20 - 21, 2010

The workshop will focus on costume design, stage combat and music. Sessions will be led by Peggy Hogan (costumes), Krista Hann (combat), and local Fogo Islander, Carol Penton (music).

Using Shakespeare's Macbeth the students will be guided on how to design costumes for their characters, take part in some quick stage combat training and then work on original music. They will then showcase their findings and new skills to the public on Sunday evening.

Greg White named new Artistic Director of World's End Theatre

The World's End Theatre Company is very pleased to announce that Greg White, until recently the company's Artistic Associate, will be taking on a new role as Artistic Director.

Sharon King-Campbell, founding Artistic Director, isn't going far; she will take on a new role as Managing Director. “It's a good move for the company and for myself,” says Ms. King-Campbell. “Greg brings considerable talent and energy to his new role and the fact he lives in the community is a definite plus for the company. My new role allows me to stay close to World’s End while allowing me flexibility to pursue other aspects of my career.”

"I am thrilled to be given this precious opportunity to produce professional theatre with the talented people of Fogo Island and Change Islands,” says Mr. White. “I am very thankful for the amazing support from the local people and I look forward to continuing to highlight and embrace our heritage through World's End productions. Sharon King-Campbell has taken great strides and done an excellent job laying the foundations of this company and I am humbled and honored to follow in her footsteps. I look forward to continuing this work and devoting my efforts to the development and conservation of local theatre and creative arts."
