The Shaw Festival, inspired by the spirit of George Bernard Shaw and Canada’s second-biggest repertory theatre company, runs almost all year round in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario.

The centrepiece of its 2024 season is a new production of My Fair Lady - with more than a dozen other offerings appearing on its three permanent stages and in a temporarily installed Spiegeltent.
