Shaw Festival

  • March 25, 2005
  • Rated 5 of 5 by lvohra from Oakville, Ontario
Shaw Festival

All the shows at the festival for the last 6 years have been amazing. My husband won't let me do anything else for his birthday since I took him in 1999. There are shows every day, and you can get tickets for $30 for folks under 30, or there are lots of discounts for groups, weekday shows, and other matinees.

There are a lot of hotel packages as well that can make this an affordable night away, or if you live in the area, it is a doable day trip. The wineries nearby are a great place to visit for lunch or dinner. There is not a bad seat in the house.

    Shaw Festival

    • October 14, 2001
    • Rated 3 of 5 by ms_dj from , Ontario
    We saw "The Return of the Prodigal", written by St John Hankin in 1905. It had a definite feel of Oscar Wilde (and in fact, before I read the programme I thought it was a Wilde play). The acting was superb, and set-changes flawless. The one thing we felt was that it was missing an act...it seemed to end before it should have.

    The Courthouse Theatre is just that, a theatre in the old courthouse. It is rather small, but that means that there isn't a bad seat in the house; you can hear everything perfectly from the first row or the last.
