WORLD CLASS ACTING! To anybody with even a passing interest in theatrics in the Niagara area this is a must see attraction.

Personally, I recommend the balcony seating, you get a very high vantage point and the theatre is small so you are still close to the stage. I saw Witness To The Prosecution originally written by the legendary murder mystery writer Agatha Christie’s and faithfully adapted to theatre “I will keep the secret” no spoilers here.

Unfortunately I didn't take pictures this time, but we will be going there again very soon and I will do my due diligence, I promise. For a visitors to Niagara on the Lake: Be aware that all festivities on the main drag end at 10pm...including restaurants.... Hence...
Read moreTheater was perfect for a play,seating lighting,service all commendable.Presentation was disappointing. Planned a weekend at Niagara on the lake to catch the piece CHITRA. There was no description of the play or synopsis on the Shaw festival website The suspense was exciting.
