Archives & Warehouse – 350 Douro Street, Stratford

Join us for a deep dive into the hidden treasures of our costume and prop warehouse, and then visit our amazing Festival Archives! Discover thousands of artifacts from seasons past, and learn about the creation, use, and preservation of these amazing creations!  

The tour will run for one hour, with your Festival Tour guide utilizing a personal microphone system. The warehouse building has step-free access and is wheelchair accessible. The tour will start in a designated area with seating for the first 5-10 minutes. Guests will then take a walking tour throughout the warehouse, with limited opportunities to sit or rest. The archive section of the tour is self-guided.

“Learning about the intricacies that go on 'behind the scenes' adds so much to one's appreciation of the performances. Seeing all those thousands of costumes and prop pieces—and learning about the research, cleverness and time that go into creating them was fascinating!!!”
