ABOUT US

Lakeside Players began in 2006 as way for Niagara talent to find a home on a Niagara stage.  It started as an idea shared by actor/directors Paul Wintemute, Tim Denis and Brian DiMartile along with actor Tracy Mitchell.  That first season saw the group stage a series called “Simon In The City”…a celebration of the comedy genius of Neil Simon.  We settled into a home at the Port Mansion Theatre and successfully brought many local actors and backstage talent together with a single and very simple goal…to showcase our best local talent AND entertain audiences from across Southern Ontario and Western New York.  The name of the game was…and remains…entertainment.

Since that first season Lakeside has called on the backstage talents of Barb and Bill Barber and added the dynamic production talents of Lynda Ceci to continue our mandate as we have added the comedies of Canada’s Norm Foster, Buffalo’s A.R. Gurney and many others to four successful seasons at Port Dalhousie.

As we head into 2011, our sixth season, we hope that you’ll join us as we present two comedies new to the stages of Niagara...Breaking and Entering and Norm Foster's Office Hours.  There are some exciting things happening for next year.  Check back here for some big announcements very soon. On behalf of Paul, Tim, Brian, Lynda and all of our family…welcome to Lakeside Players.
