The Shaw Festival, Canada’s second-biggest repertory theatre company, runs almost all year round in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, with work inspired by the spirit of George Bernard Shaw.
The 2026 summer season, anchored by a new production of Funny Girl starring Sara Farb, features a mix of comedies, dramas and youth offerings. Then, at Christmastime, the festival will present two holiday offerings: Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella and A Year with Frog and Toad.
