The Stratford Festival

Every year there is a great celebration of theatre, drama and music in Stratford, ON. The Stratford Festival is unforgettable.

Directors choose the best talent in Canada to come and act in a series of contemporary theatre, musicals, and, of course, several of Shakespeare’s plays. In the 2010 season, three of William Shakespeare’s comedies will be performed, along with the musical Evita, and many other contemporary performances.

As a major tourist attraction, the Stratford Festival does wonders to help the market of the performing arts. Not only does it give actors and actresses the opportunity to perform for a decent length of time in the year (to help pay the bills), but stimulates respect and acknowledgment of their existence. The town comes alive with tourists coming to watch the plays and musicals.

Speaking from personal experience, the Stratford Festival is something that you do not want to miss.
