If you’re a fan of established community theatre, from an over-hundred-year-old theatre company, look no further than the Ottawa Little Theatre (OLT) as they begin their 112th season in 2025.

The suspenseful play An Act of Grace is running at the Ottawa Little Theatre —a perfect time for a little intrigue and mystery during these unusually hot June days.
