In 2017, the Ottawa Little Theatre hosted the Theatre Ontario Festival for the first time since the festival began in 1973. Theatre Ontario came into existence shortly after the demise of the national Dominion Drama Festival which had begun at the Little Theatre in 1933 and continued until 1970.
The theatre companies invited to the Theatre Ontario Festival are the Best Production winners of the four regional Ontario festivals. On this occasion they were:
Wed. May 17 - EODL (Eastern Ontario): Northumberland Players (Cobourg) with "Waiting for the Parade" by John Murrell.
Thur. May 18 - WODL (Southwestern Ontario): Ghost Light Players (Windsor) with "Better Living" by George F. Walker

Sat. May 20 - QUONTA (Northeastern Ontario) Sault Theatre Workshop (Sault Ste. Marie) with "Lucy" by Damien Atkins.
At the Awards Brunch on Sunday, May 21, "Outside Mullingar" was named Best Production.
