The Shaw Festival Theatre

The Shaw Theatre creates and produces compelling theatrical experiences heavily influenced by the Irish playwright, Bernard Shaw. The Shaw Festival Theatre was founded as a non-profit organization, with an elected board of governors. While the main intent was to solely recreate the materials by Bernard Shaw, it slowly became more about the theatre and now the Shaw Festival Theatre happily welcomes other forms of inspiration.
Some of the shows you will find going on at the Shaw Festival Theatre this year include: Sweet Charity, Pygmalion, Light up the Sky, The Lady from the Sea, and Top Girls.
