How To Promenade

What is this “Promenade” of which you speak?

Just as it sounds, Promenade Theatre asks the audience to join in the performance, moving them from location to location as they are drawn into the world created by the performers. With the action taking place in and around the audience, the audience is guided by the performers themselves, not only through the landscape written by William Shakespeare, but through the natural beauty of the Trappist Monastery Provincial Heritage Park.

Never ‘Promenaded’ before? No problem! Our friendly volunteers and empassioned performers will point you in the right direction!

Do I need to bring a chair?

No, you do not! S.I.R. is happy to provide lawn chairs for your seating comfort!

Ok, so what should I bring with me?

Apart from a sense of adventure, we recommend bringing a light jacket in case you get a chill when the sun goes down (although in addition to chairs, S.I.R. is happy to provide our brave audiences with blankets, too). If you are seeing a matinee, we also recommend a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses because the weather will be spectacular!

When are your box office hours?

Our Box Office is open April 21-May 18, Monday to Friday from 10am – 6pm & May 19-June 24, Monday to Friday from 1 – 5pm. Sorry, our box office is not open on weekends.

I’ve got tickets for tomorrow’s performance, but there is rain in the forecast. Do you cancel due to rain?

No, Shakespeare in the Ruins does not cancel a performance due to rain in the forecast. We have a large tent at the park which we perform under in case of rain. We ONLY cancel a performance if there is thunder and lightening overhead at the park right before or during a performance.

Where are the Ruins?

The ‘Ruins’, as we lovingly call them or The Trappist Monastery Heritage Provincial Park is located in St. Norbert, Manitoba. 100 Ruines du Monastere St.

Drive south on Pembina Hwy past the St. Norbert Farmer’s Market. Turn right at the lights before the bridge onto Rue des Trappistes. Turn left on Ruines du Monastere St. You can’t miss us!
