Every year, fans of theater trek to the annual Shaw Festival and are treated to the work of playwrights from all over the world.  When the event first debuted in 1962, playwright Brian Doherty organized eight performances in a converted court house.  Soon after, the event was founded as a non-profit organization, and drew crowds of people who were allured by the promise of an inspiring theatre experience with work from some of Canada’s most celebrated playwrights.  Every year, The Shaw Festival draws about 78,000 tourists to the falls in search of compelling performances.  This year’s festival runs from April 1 to October 31 and will feature plays such as “An Ideal Husband,” “The Women,” and “The Doctor’s Dilemma” among many others.  Located just 25 minutes from the Niagara Falls, this is a beautiful destination for a quick getaway, complete with scenic views.  The festival is adjacent to a number of neighboring Niagara wineries so you can count on feasting at the region’s most elegant establishments.
