How It All Started
Windsor Light Music Theatre (formerly named The Windsor Light Opera Association) was founded by Dr. John H. L. Watson in 1948 with the goal of presenting musical theatre to the Windsor-Essex County area. The company started producing two major musical productions per year and has continued to do so to the present day.
In the early years the company presented what was at the time referred to as operettas, "light operas", which was reflected in the name Windsor Light Opera. Since this time musicals have changed and so has our name. However, The Light Opera as this group was known as in the community still produces outstanding shows that reflect the best of Broadway musical entertainment.
Originally the productions were housed and presented on the Walkerville Collegiate stage. In 1960 Windsor Light Opera moved to the Cleary Auditorium, now called the Chrysler Theatre in the Saint Clair College for the Arts, where Windsor Light Musical Theatre stages its spring and fall performances annually.
