“We enjoy visiting Halifax and appreciate the variety of restaurants and other cultural facilities. However, if the Neptune Theatre (and its interesting and diverse productions) did not exist, we would not come to the city as often. It is almost always the primary purpose of our visit.”

“My partner and I enjoy making an evening out of performance nights. We try the various restaurants in the area to broaden our palate rather than constantly patronizing our favorite.”

“NS is fortunate to have a theatre that provides such high quality entertainment. I have been a subscriber since first attending university in Halifax over 30 years ago. It also gives me an opportunity to try out different restaurants in the area.”

The testimonials above are from the 2010 economic impact study by SMU Business Development Centre.
