Muskoka's cottage season truly arrives when the historic Gravenhurst Opera House throws opens its historic doors for its always awesome Summer Theatre program. Known among professional actors as the birthplace of Canada's tradition of summer theater, it was here in 1934 that actor John Holden decided to create what is known as "summer stock" - an opportunity for actors to keep busy in the traditionally quieter summer seasons. Already well established - it was built in 1901 - the Opera House became home to the John Holden Players, which eventually morphed into the legendary Straw Hat Players, before winding up as the home of the long-running Muskoka Festival. Many of Canada's best-known actors graced its stage, including Donald Sutherland, who got his start here in the late 1950s.
