AUTHORS NOTE
Stratford, Ontario, a quiet, scenic city in a rural setting, has managed to stay true to its roots even though many thousands of people visit each year from around the world. Its not your pop-up tourist town. Ever since the days of early settlement in the 1830s, Stratford has been a place where forward-thinking citizens seized opportunities to benefit their community.
Our goal with Stratford for All Seasons: Theatre & Arts, is to share the immensity and diversity of the theatre and arts scene in Stratford. It is extraordinary to have culture of this magnitude in a city with a population of approximately 32,000. Many of the 500,000 annual visitors to the city who attend the Stratford Festival, as well as many busy Stratfordites, are not aware of the countless cultural events available to them year-round.
This book is about the cultural happenings in Stratford that make us say, Wow.
Stratford For All Seasons: Theatre & Arts is arranged as follows:
DO IT Events you can participate in or attend
SEE IT Things you can walk up to and appreciate
KNOW IT Fascinating and historical information
FOREWORD
Put some flowers in front. Shows people theres civilization there. The remark is attributed to James Anderson, first Archivist-Administrator of the Stratford-Perth Archives and a passionate advocate for local culture and heritage. If he did indeed say that, then he was on to something.
We judge the quality of life in a city not only by the state of its sidewalks and its sewers, its industrial and commercial vigour, or the efficiency with which its municipal services are delivered key markers though all those attributes are but also by the ways in which it makes itself beautiful, spiritually nourishing, and vibrant with life. A city that cultivates beauty, a city buzzing with intellectual and creative energy, is a city worth spending time in.
Stratford is such a city, and not only because of its internationally renowned theatre festival. The flowers of civilization burgeon and blossom in countless other corners of this unique community; their roots run deep.
In these pages, Phyllis Hinz and Lamont Mackay gather together Stratfords richly varied cultural blooms its artistic endeavours, its architecture, its history, its traditions into a single convenient bouquet. But in doing so, they reveal something more: a whole cultural ecology, interconnected and mutually sustaining. And one that will always be sprouting new buds.
Welcome to Stratford. Theres civilization here.
David Prosser
Literary and Editorial Director
Stratford Festival
There is so much to do in Stratford that a person could be forgiven for only scratching its surface by seeing a great play. After all, how many places have an internationally known Shakespeare festival? But in this book youll find ways to enrich your experience of Stratford, dive deep into its many delights, and make the theatre-going even more irresistible.

HIGHLIGHT:
Intimate alternative theatre offered by performing artists living in Stratford
ALTERNATIVE THEATRE WORKS
Alternative Theatre Works (ATW) is an independent professional theatre company dedicated to producing theatre outside the mainstream in the Stratford region. The company is a group of professional actors, directors, producers, and educators who live in Stratford, love what they do, and want to share their knowledge and skills with their community. Productions, chosen for their merit as good theatre, are short runs to sold-out houses. You might catch a one-man show, an original play, or an original adaptation of a play. One such production was A Tender Thing by Ben Power, in which Romeo and Juliet did not die but are alive and aging. Its an alternative take on an ageless story.
In order to provide a full-stage experience, the small company collaborates with other choreographers, musicians, and designers such as Off the Wall, where theatre professionals offer workshops on backstage production. Working together, ATW and Off the Wall mentor emerging artists. Alternative Theatre Works provides performances and post-show talks for elementary and secondary school students when the subject is suitable. This close contact with the artists who work together to put on a production exposes students to the broad scope of performing arts and perhaps a peek at future careers.
