MUSIC | DANCE | THEATRE | FILM
The Osprey Arts Centre is the performing arts hub of Shelburne County.
Our season is full of live music, theatre, dance, film screenings, youth events, workshops, & more.
No event runs itself. There are always technical people and volunteers working behind the scenes.
"From the start it has been the theatre's job to entertain people.
It needs no other passport than fun."
Bertolt Brecht
