In which we tell you about
The Northern Bruce Peninsula Shakespearean Festival
Our venue under winter conditions, under which some of our early presentations took place,
thereby adding interesting complications
(such as the day the power was off, unexpected lake-effect snow, cancellations and re-schedulings, etc.)
You are Welcome to
Do-It-Yourself Shakespeare
on Bruce Peninsula:
June and September dates

Romeo and Juliet, in an early production:
We have at last achieved a sustainable balance among our ambition to take our rightful place among Canadian presenters of Shakespeare, the weather, our resources, and the stamina of our actors and audience, who are the same people. We do two plays per year, one to open our Summer Season, on the Sunday closest to the Summer Solstice, and one to close it, on the Sunday closest to the Autumnal Equinox, or thereabouts, give or take a week or two either way.
All performances are readings in which you, the audience, take a role (often more than one). Scripts are provided and no preparation or experience is necessary.
We are working our way through the Shakespearean Repertoire (see "Past Years" below), and are pleased to announce the following plans for 2012:
| Measure for Measure | Sunday, June 24th |
| Antony and Cleopatra | Sunday, September 23rd |
All performances take place at Voyageur Storytelling, begin at 2:00 pm and run until the play finishes, usually by 5:00, followed by supper and stimulating conversation, until the last dog is hung, or hanged, as the case may be.
The cost is $20, including supper.
Call 519-795-7477 for reservations and further information. All Welcome!
