The Stratford Difference Begins with You!
The Stratford Shakespeare Festival is North America’s leading classical theatre thanks to all of our important players – world-class actors and directors, innovative artisans, designers – and also because of you!

Members share our commitment to build on our tradition of excellence by presenting each season the great works seen through fresh eyes.
Membership supports the consummate calibre of performances, music, artists, costumes, sets and props that you see each season, along with many training programs for students, young actors, designers and artisans.
