Stratford Shakespeare Festival Weekend

A perfect prologue to Toronto Pursuits is a weekend of world-class theatre at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival. Drama connoisseurs Pat and Gary Schoepfel will again host an excursion to charming Stratford, Ontario. Pat and Gary have been enthusiastic attendees of the Stratford Festival since 1977 and offer an unmatched experience of conviviality.

We will attend three productions from the 2023 playbill: Wedding Band (opening night at the new Tom Patterson Theatre), Much Ado About Nothing, and Rent. In keeping with the festival theme Duty vs. Desire, we’ve chosen plays that centre on ever-changing attitudes about love and marriage.

Outside the theatre, the warm hospitality and comfort of the historic Queen’s Inn beckon. The inn, our longtime home in Stratford, is located in the heart of the city. A variety of restaurants, all four festival theatres, many local shops, and the charming riverfront parks are within walking distance.

Our excursion includes:

• premium, A+ seats at three productions at our special group rate
• two nights at the Queen’s Inn
• round-trip transport from downtown Toronto in a spacious private coach
• a pub lunch
• Sunday breakfast buffet
• opportunities to discuss the productions
• taxes and gratuities
• fully escorted by Pat and Gary

All this for C$1100 per person for double accommodation and C$1350 per person for single accommodation.

Registration for the Stratford Excursion is through our longtime travel partner, Worldwide Quest (TICO Reg: #2667946), facilitated by Pat.

Join Pat, Gary, and other drama lovers for an entertaining and insightful visit to Canada’s cultural treasure, the Stratford Festival.
