Historical Note
In 1952, Tom Patterson founded the Stratford Shakespearean Festival of Canada in an effort to rejuvenate the economy of the Canadian town of Stratford, named after William Shakespeare's English home town. Patterson worked with Canadian theater teacher Dora Mavor Moore and British actor Tyrone Guthrie to put on the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, which was held in a tent-covered concrete amphitheater. Funds were later raised to build a permanent theatre, which was built in 1957. As of 2022, there are four permanent theaters: Festival Theatre, Avon Theatre, Tom Patterson Theatre, and Studio Theatre. As well as performing the works of Shakespeare, the festival also includes other classical and contemporary works, and one musical every season. The festival is also known as the Shakespeare Festival, the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, and the Stratford Festival.
Scope and Contents
The Stratford Festival Collection contains programs, promotional materials, newsletters, ticket order forms, brochures, pamphlets, and souvenier guides for the Stratford Festival. It also contains a piece of the original tent and other promotional materials for productions performed at the Stratford Festival. The materials are mostly in English with a few items in French and span in date from circa 1953-2015.
