  My husband and I frequent the marvelous plays at the Stratford Festival. Our "date" begins with a beautiful lunch in our choice of Stratford's finest eateries, then we partake in the viewing of incredible plays with extremely talented actors, and ending with a picnic lunch in the park by the river. What a wonderful way to spend our Sunday dates!

  You won't find any better theatre than in Stratford, we have 4 of them and they each have their own distinct feel to them.Acting is first rate and the musicals are awesome.A couple of years ago, they produced the rock opera "Tommy" I went three times to see it, it was the most spectacular peformance.I would highy recommend any of the theatres here.

  I have been to Stratford many times over the years and have never been disappointed from when I saw Paul Scofield and John Colicos in Coriolanus. The theater and actors are all wonderful although sometimes the casting could be more on the mark even if the actors are splendid. I have never stayed the night preferring to drive home even if it is a couple of hours away so cannot give input as to accommodations. My only real complaint is that some of the music in these productions should be recorded and sold in the gift shop instead of disappearing forever.

  Having attended over 400 productions at the Stratford Festival since 1978, I think that I could be considered an expert on the Festival and its superb acting company. During these 30 plus years, it has been my privilege to review many of the productions both for print media and one line. Stratford remains one of the worlds great theatre companies and continues to flourish under the creative hand of new Artistic Director Antonio Cimolino. Its truly a magical place where you can see 10-12 different productions during the span of a week. What are you waiting for? Plan a visit for the summer of 2015!

  This is a world-class theatre that provides a unique theatre experience. Many years ago I saw Twelfth Night and a few years ago, Macbeth and now King Lear. They always have the best talent and incredible productions, but King Lear was absolutely stellar! The theatre is situated in Upper Queen's Park by the pretty Victoria Lake.

  I live in the area so am partial to these theatres. The shows are excellent. Production and actors are spectacular.

  I plan to visit Stratford again this summer. We love it there. It is a charming place to visit as well as having first class professional theatre--musicals, Shakespeare, you name it.. There are other communities around it that are fun to visit as well. A few miles over is one of the Great Lakes. I recommend Molly Blooms's Irish for a great lunch and/or a fantastic dinner.

  We try to visit Stratford every year and have not been disipointed yet!Four theaters host remarkable actors in the finest stage plays ever seen anywhere.I prefer Shakespeare but there are no slackers in any of the productions here.Take in a tragedy Friday evening, a lite comedy Saturday afternoon and after a sumptuous feast at any of a dozen fine restaurants in town enjoy a love story in the evening.While you are in town take in the site's, it is a very pleasant community.This would be a great stopover to or from Toronto.Enjoy the experience, eh.

  Well worth the trip, this is professional theatre in an unlikely spot. Highlighting, but not limited to, the works of Shakespeare. For the masses, they toss in a couple of routinely spectacular musicals every season. We've never been disappointed in any of their productions.TIPS: it doesn't come cheap and it helps to do some planning to get the best bang for your buck. Good seats sell out early. It's worth it to hunt for bargain deals, especially during the week. Stratford is a pleasant Victorian town in the countryside. Don't expect big city style luxury hotels, but their are plenty of different types of accommodations.
