Stratford

The Festival Theater
I’ve mentioned Stratford more than a few times in this narrative. I love it there. I’ve no idea why. It just resonated with me from the first time I lay eyes on it. The plays, the parks, the statuary, the attention to detail. The food. The hotels and B&Bs. The Bookstores. Ontario Street. Its attention to the Arts.

Herein lies a list of plays I’ve attended. I may have missed one or two. I may have misplaced the year when I saw one or two. No matter. I’ve no doubt I’ll be back for more.
