This is the Festival Theater, one of the three lovely theaters at the Stratford Festival in Ontario. I managed to download and fill out the ARRIVECAN app and hopefully we will sail through the customs at the Blue Water Crossing in Sarnia, ON, CA. I have some trepidation since Covid numbers are on the rise. Masks are not required but encouraged and I will wear mine.
We are seeing HAMLET (has to be my tenth time) and CHICAGO (probably seen it twice before). My friends are also seeing RICHARD III but I doubt I would get much out of seeing two plays in a day. All of these productions have gotten great reviews.
Have a great weekend.

Have a great time. We almost made it to Stratford once. We did go to the real one in England. We'll be away until Saturday with cousins in Connecticut.
We've seen HAMLET, of course, but also CHICAGO several times. First was the original 1975 production with Gwen Verdon, Chita Rivera and Jerry Orbach. Then was the 1996 revival, which we saw at least twice (once in London, with 1975 cast member Chita Rivera in it).
Hoping to maybe get to NY in the Fall and see a few plays there.
Stratford is a terrific venue. As good as the UK version. Colm Feorge is playing RICHARD III. Might try to get tkts if I can make it through two in a day. Not sure.
I agree, two in a day is tough, especially if one is a Shakespeare tragedy. We've done it in London, as long as one was light like MAMMA MIA!
Have a wonderful time!! It sounds fabulous!
I'm sure you'll enjoy HAMLET and CHICAGO. We're still holding off on attending the Shaw Festival. The Covid-19 numbers here and in Eastern Ontario are creeping up again.
I'm happy to hear you're back, Patti, but sad that I now live so far away. On the other hand, if you ever find yourself in Ottawa...
