Join us for an evening of enchanting outdoor theatre under the stars!
Regarded as one of Toronto’s favourite summer traditions, the 29th annual Canadian Stage Dream in High Park will feature William Shakespeare’s romantic comedy The Winter’s Tale: a classic play of two fairytale worlds brought to life with magic, mystery and music.
Directed by acclaimed outdoor theatre director Estelle Shook, this high-energy and celebratory story of kings, queens, shipwrecks and statues is the perfect diversion for the whole family.
The production will feature a well-known and diverse cast of established Canadian actors, up-and-coming talent and quadruple-threat performers who can act, dance, sing and play a variety of instruments. Cast members include John Blackwood, Jasmine Chen, Sean Dixon, Charlotte Gowdy, David Jansen, George Masswohl, Kelly McIntosh, Meilie Ng, Thomas Olajide, Nicole Robert, Jovanni Sy, Sanjay Talwar. Original music composed by Toronto-based artist John Millard with set and costume design by Denyse Karn and lighting design by Jason Hand.
Bring a picnic and relax on the hill with your family and friends. Food, beverages and blankets are available for purchase.
