Neptune Theatre
The original precedent for Neptune Theatre was Nova Scotia's first French language theatrical presentation, Marc Lescarbot's "Le Theatre de Neptune en la Nouvelle-France" in 1606. The impetus to found a repertory theatre in Halifax was spurred on by the Canada Council's encouragement of establishing regional theatres in the late 1950's. Local Halifax politicians supported the endeavor, believing it would aid city development and help to attract additional tourists. Neptune's first repertory season was in 1963-1964. Neptune was also the first completely year-round theatre in Canada.
