The Stratford Shakespeare Festival

                 The Stratford Shakespeare Festival takes place every year in Stratford, Ontario, Canada.  It is an annual festival that showcases many of Shakespeare’s works, but is also known for presenting non-Shakespearian tragedies as well as modern plays.

                           In recent years, professors of Wittenberg University’s English Department have taken student groups to the festival for a weekend early in the Fall Semester.  The trip offers Broadway-quality theatre at a very affordable price, and room and board are included in the price of the trip.  Students this year had the opportunity to see such plays as Romeo and Juliet, Cabaret, and Hamlet.
