World-class theatre — in blissful Niagara wine country

The Shaw Festival … the perfect intermission from life!

Each year, from February through December, The Shaw offers an eclectic array of award-winning musicals, family-friendly offerings, quirky comedies, bold dramas, sweeping classics and thrilling whodunits.
