Alex Mustakas, Artistic Director of Drayton Entertainment, is pleased to announce today that the St. Jacobs Schoolhouse Theatre will be renamed the Hildebrand Schoolhouse Theatre St. Jacobs in recognition of the sustained support of community philanthropists Henry and Grace Hildebrand.

As the previous owner and operator of St. Jacobs Place, a luxury independent / assisted living facility in the community, the Hildebrand family has been attending productions at the Schoolhouse Theatre for more than two decades.

The new name will take effect for the 2024 Season. The Burlington couple has generously donated $1 million to help with a planned renovation to the layout and functionality of the 1867 Schoolhouse Theatre, located at 11 Albert St. W. in the village of St. Jacobs.

Thank you, Henry and Grace!
