Mayor’s Message

Welcome to the Victoria Playhouse!

Petrolia is proud to welcome you back to the gem in our community
– the renowned Victoria Playhouse! Once you enjoy the world-class
theatre and National Heritage designated facility, I implore you to visit
our lively and vibrant downtown. You will see that we have grown since
you were last here, and have welcomed several new businesses, some
new restaurants and even a brewery to beautiful Petrolia!
It is with great pride that I welcome you to one of the finest theatres in
the province, featuring stellar talent, and unparalleled customer service.
Thank you for spending time with us today, and we can’t wait to welcome
you back again and again.
R. Brad Loosley, Mayor

Thank you!

The joy I feel writing this note to welcome you back to my favourite place
can only be described as the best I have felt in two years! I would like to
thank each one of you for your patience, support, and trust in us as we
navigated very uncertain times together. Having each of you by our side
raised our spirits and gave us faith and we thank you for your kindness.
We welcome back our patrons that feel like family to our home, and
happy place.
I am honoured, and so grateful, to welcome you to a season that is well
worth the wait! Bring on the laughs, the music, the drama and indeed,
the joy! As always, I look forward to hearing from you about your visit,
send me a note to [email protected] or reach me by phone at
