The Shaw Festival: What Fall Has In Store


Reading Time:  3 minutes -

*Pictured Above: Cabaret*

The Shaw Festival is now in its 53rd season this year, and just like our wine, it’s another feature to the beautiful and historic Niagara-on-the-Lake that makes us unique to Ontario.

Cabaret Trailor:

Carried through into the Fall season, the Shaw Festival presents 10 plays in four theatres until October 26. The Festival Theatre will stage three stunning productions, all definite “must-sees”. The celebrated Tony Award-winning musical “Cabaret” is the talk of the town with its stunning visuals and costumes. A classical romantic comedy, “The Philadelphia Story” enjoyed a great turn on Broadway before becoming an Oscar-winning film. Looking for something a little more daring a risqué? Watch”The Philanderer”, a comedy about love and sex.

At the Court House Theatre, find out what charity really means with the comedy “The Charity that Began at Home”. Or take in performances such as “The Sea”, a play that mixes both comedy and politics about a man lost at sea after a boating accident during a storm. “Arms and the Man” is a love story of two soldiers vying for the affection of one girl. Sharing the Royal George stage is “When We Are Married”, a comedy about marriage, and “Juno and the Paycock“, a play that mixes humour, drama and politics about a family torn apart after the Irish Civil War. “The Mountaintop” is about a fictional meeting between Martin Luther King Jr. and a maid at the Lorraine Motel. Winner of the Oliver Away for best new play, “The Mountaintop” is on stage at the Studio Theatre.
