Parallel Stages: Stratford Festival and The National Theatre School of Canada

The Stratford Festival and the National Theatre School of Canada (NTS) emerged at a formative moment in the development of Canadian theatre. Growing alongside one another, these two institutions have helped shape the country’s theatrical landscape and generations of its artists. Thomas Morgan Jones, Executive Artistic Director of the English section of NTS, and others reflect on this shared history and on the enduring importance of training and mentorship, as theatrical craft and knowledge are passed from one generation to the next.
