Stratford Festival Partners with St. Michael Secondary School

Students with the Huron Perth Catholic District School board can take advantage of a new partnership with the Stratford Festival.

A series of Master Classes begin in April for students in Grades 6 - 8 to learn about behind the scenes craftsmanship and on stage performing.

The classes will be held from 7 to 8:30 pm at the Festival, with topics such as prop building, improv and special effects make-up.

In the fall, artists from the Festival will work with the drama department at St. Michael Catholic Secondary School to offer a new Musical Theatre Course for secondary students.
