The 4th Line Theatre is a theatre production company and outdoor performance venue near the village of Millbrook, in the township of Cavan, Ontario, Canada. The company performs dramatic plays, usually about historical subjects, and premiers works by local playwrights.
Because the plays are performed outdoors, the theatre operates only during the summer months. Two main plays are presented each year, and each is performed daily for a period of about one month.

History
The 4th Line Theatre was founded by Rob Winslow, and the productions take place on the Winslow family farm. The theatre's first production, in 1992, was The Cavan Blazers, a play about a struggle between Catholic and Protestant Irish immigrant families in Cavan Township. Winslow has directed and written many of the plays. Some of the more recent productions have been directed by Kim Blackwell.
2016 is the theatre's 25th season, and an art show celebrating past productions is being held in Millbrook. One of the 2016 productions is The Hero of Hunter Street, a play about a tragic industrial accident in the history of Peterborough, Ontario.
