The Shaw Festival

With 10 or more productions each year performed in three theatres for an audience of more than 250,000, the Shaw Festival is a major Canadian cultural icon, a gem in this country’s rich cultural heritage. Inspired by the wit and passion of Bernard Shaw, the Shaw Festival is a contemporary theatre that features a smart, provocative, potent and diverse mix of plays from the past and present, performed by a celebrated repertory theatre Ensemble. The result is theatre that is challenging, surprising, often funny and always entertaining. These plays are lovingly and artfully brought to the stage each year by a talented team of actors, directors, and designers, showcasing the incredible tapestry of talent that this country contributes to the world.

The Shaw Festival has recently launched an ambitious campaign - All. Together. Now. This campaign will transform The Shaw into a buzzing campus of connection, creativity and curiosity. A home for all those who wish to put down their phones and remember that they are alive. A campaign that will see the creation of the Shaw Artists’ Village and the Burton Centre for Lifelong Creativity and the rebuilding of our iconic Royal George theatre. A campaign for real human connection.
