St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival 2025 Season
Announcing our 2025 Season
“Friendship is constant.” Stories on the St. Lawrence.

Our 2025 season continues the tradition of artistic excellence, with three incredible productions set right on the St. Lawrence.
Join us for a magical night under the stars and some world-class performances.
Much Ado About Nothing
by William Shakespeare
July 19 to August 9
Directed by Julia Nish-Lapidus
Shakespeare’s uproarious tale of society, gossip, and mistaken love.
Join us for a trip back to the 1980’s, where the plots of a small community are exposed, exploded, and ultimately resolved – to hilarious and heartfelt ends. Featuring music, comedy, and intrigue, this production will have you smiling from start to finish.
Sherlock Holmes and the Vanishing Hour
by Deivan Steele
July 23 to August 9
Directed by James Wallis
Based on the characters by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
This new play, created exclusively for the St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival, sees the beloved character Sherlock Holmes venturing to Canada and helping his new friend Watson solve a mystery on the St. Lawrence River. This comic thriller features conspiracy, music, and plenty of fun for the whole family!
Play On! A Shakespeare Inspired Mixtape
Created by Robert Markus, Julia Nish-Lapidus, and James Wallis
Originally commissioned by the Stratford Festival
August 12 to 16
Directed by Julia Nish-Lapidus
Music Direction by Joseph Herbison
Last season’s hit returns!
A witty, entertaining, cabaret of pop music and Shakespearean text, bringing together a wide-range of songs from a variety of eras and genres, including The Beatles, Taylor Swift, Elton John, and more.
