Women of the Fur Trade

Town of Gananoque — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 10:51:43 -0400

Friday, May 1, 2026 - 7:30pm - Sunday, May 24, 2026 - 2:00pm

Venue: Firehall Theatre, Thousand Islands Playhouse
Dates: May 1–24

Step into a frontier fort where history gets a bold and witty rewrite. Women of the Fur Trade brings together three unforgettable voices: a Métis dreamer penning flirtatious letters to Louis Riel, a sharp-minded Ojibwe trapper wary of rebellion, and a British settler anxiously awaiting her husband’s return.

As they share tea and trade barbs, these women grapple with the tensions of a rising resistance—reshaping the past with humor, insight, and defiance. Equal parts satire and storytelling, this play crackles with intelligence and bite.

Women of the Fur Trade is a fierce, funny reminder that the women on the margins of history were never simply observers—they were always part of the story.

Show Schedule:

Evening performances at 7:30 PM (Tuesday–Saturday)

Matinees at 2:00 PM on Thursdays and Sundays

No performances on Mondays

Location: Firehall Theatre, Thousand Islands Playhouse
Run Time: May 1 through May 24
