Get Ready for Gothic Girl Summer!

Guild Festival Theatre is excited to announce our 15th summer in Guild Park.

Inspired by Gothic literature and the great women writers of the 19th century, GFT’s 2026 programming features a theatrical imagining of the lives of the beloved Brontë sisters and an irreverent new adaptation of a Jane Austen classic.

Also returning for its 5th year, is our popular Family Fest! This summer the festival will bring the park to life with a celebration of the Scarborough community, featuring stories and traditions from around the world.

“We’re both big fans of Gothic fiction. We love the romantic settings, the great characters, and the epic narratives. The grand architecture of the Greek Theatre makes it the perfect venue for bringing these stories to the stage and we’re excited to explore both the real-world drama of the Brontës and the imaginary landscapes of Jane Austen” ~ Co-Artistic Directors Helen Juvonen and Tyler J. Seguin
