History

The 4th Line Theatre was founded by Robert Winslow in 1992, after his mother's passing left him with the 150-acre farm property. Robert launched the theatre with his original work ''The Cavan Blazers'', and has directed and written many of the plays. In 2014, Winslow’s long-time collaborator Kim Blackwell took on the role of Managing Artistic Director as Winslow transitioned out of his position as Artistic Director.
