Our Mission
Who We Are
Evergreen Theatre is an intimate, 115-seat non-profit performing arts venue located in East Margaretsville, Nova Scotia. We are operated by the Fundy Folk Association, a registered Canadian charitable society dedicated to cultural vitality in the Annapolis Valley.
Our Mandate
- Live Music Excellence:
To bring world-class live music to rural Nova Scotia—presenting acclaimed Canadian and international touring musicians, Juno Award winners, and exceptional regional singer-songwriters. - The Listening Room Experience:
To preserve and foster a true “listening room” culture where audiences actively listen, where every lyric and acoustic note is heard with warmth and crystal clarity, and where performers connect intimately with their audience. - Support for Working Musicians:
To champion musical artists by providing fair compensation, attentive hospitality, professional sound engineering, and a welcoming venue that touring artists love returning to. - Rural Cultural Vitality:
To ensure residents and visitors of the Annapolis Valley have year-round access to world-class musical performances without needing to travel to major urban centres. - Volunteer & Community Stewardship:
To maintain our historic 1859 venue through volunteer dedication, keeping the hall warm, accessible, and rooted in community spirit.

Acknowledgement
The Evergreen Theatre would like to acknowledge that we are in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded land of the Mi’kmaq People. This ancestral land is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Mi’kmaq, Wəlastəkwiyik (Maliseet), and Passamaquoddy Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1726. The treaties did not deal with the surrender of lands and resources but in fact, recognized Mi’kmaq and Wəlastəkwiyik title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.
