BUSINESS SUCCESS STORIES

Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia

"The company has earned Export Excellence Awards for its contribution to culture and the economy."

Mermaid Theatre of Nova Scotia was founded in 1972 and is located in Windsor.

Mermaid Theatre’s unique adaptations of children’s literature have delighted more than three million young people on four continents. Mermaid’s choice of material is based on the belief that young people can benefit substantially both in their emotional and aesthetic development from early exposure to literature, the arts, and the power of imagination.

The company ranks among North America’s most respected theatres for family audiences, and has won widespread recognition for its ambassadorial role. Mermaid regularly crosses North America, and has represented Canada in Japan, Mexico, Australia, England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Holland, Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Taiwan, and Veitnam.

Mermaid Theatre has earned Export Excellence Awards from both Nova Scotia and the Government of Canada in recognition for its contributions to the province’s culture and economy, and has merited an award for Best Performing Group from the Canadian Presenting Arts Association (CAPACOA).
