The Shaw Festival is getting a financial boost from the province.
A grant of $250,000 has been delivered by the Ontario Trillium Foundation, to help the Festival create new experiences and programs and sustain operations.
The money is flowing through the Community Building Fund.
"Thanks to the Ontario government’s investment in the Community Building Fund, this influx of funding assisted the Shaw Festival in recuperating from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic," stated Tim Jennings, Executive Director of the Shaw Festival. "In addition to providing operational relief and recovery, the provincial support ensured the Festival could continue to, not only create engaging programming and events, but have a positive financial impact on the economies of Niagara-on-the-Lake, the Niagara Region and its surrounding areas."
The Shaw Festival's 2022 season begins on February 9th and runs through to December 23rd, with the playbill including shows such as "Damn Yankees" and "The Importance of Being Earnest."
