“There’s a real sense of renewal at Stratford this year – the feeling is palpable,” says Stratford Festival artistic director Antoni Cimolino. With a season of reimagined classics, premieres and the unveiling of the new Tom Patterson Theatre, visiting the Stratford Festival in 2020 is essential for arts lovers.
The world-renowned theatre company will present 15 productions and more than 300 special events next year, many in the Tom Patterson Theatre. Clad in a bronze veil, surrounded by gardens and undulating along the banks of the Avon River, the contemporary theatre will be a beacon to theatre enthusiasts when it opens in the spring.
In addition to its jewel-like architecture, the theatre will have as its focal point a thrust stage, offering the unique theatrical experience Stratford is beloved for. Its thoughtful design brings actors into the heart of the audience while creating unparalleled intimacy.
