    Shaw Festival

    (4 reviews)

    Every two years, my family on my mum's side gets together for a family reunion. These reunions…read morealways take place in different places around North America (so far) but there is a list is a check-list of must have's when deciding on our destination. The requirements include good food, history, outdoor friendly and lots of arts. The Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake encompasses the "lots of arts" portion while NOTL has all the rest! Two years ago we visited Charleston for the Spoleto Festival, and I thought it would be hard to beat that; but the Shaw Festival definitely put up a fight! The Shaw Festival is one of the largest theatre festivals in North America. It started as a tribute to George Bernard Shaw but has become much more. It is truly professional theatre at its best. While its season features multiple Shaw plays, it also offers Shaw contemporaries the stage as well. With four distinct theatres (each very walkable and located in the heart of NOTL), where every seat is a good one, and an unmatched cultural atmosphere. The Shaw productions highlight music, acting, choreography and costumes and are well worth a day, or a few days, in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The Shaw Festival takes place from April to November, with about ten rotating performances. So, no matter when you visit, you are almost always guaranteed the possibility to see a production. The performances are truly spectacular, as are the theaters, I think the Shaw Festival Theatre might steal the cake though! Unlike the Spoleto Festival, The Shaw Festival is all about the performances, they don't have any artist in the park events or art walks, it's all about the PERFORMING arts (although they do have some "behind the stage" events), which are incredibly, so they really don't need anything else. However, for you visual arts fans, NOTL is home to many art galleries. If you are making a visit to NOTL, definitely take the time to book at show with the Shaw Festival. They even reward their younger fans by offering $30 tickets for people under 30. Also, check out their website for not only details about shows, but education and information on Niagara-on-the-Lake as a whole!

    "I love theatre. To have stories acted for me by a company of fellows."…read more i thought "magician's nephew" was well-acted. imho they made a few weird artistic choices (like with aslan's costume), but on the whole the production was creative, professional and as good as any from toronto and stratford. the venue is beautiful and the value is okay. no complaints really.
