The Shaw Festival announced its 64th season in Niagara-on-the-Lake, featuring productions of FUNNY GIRL, SLEUTH, and JEEVES & WOOSTER IN PERFECT NONSENSE, alongside more than 5,000 Beyond the Stage events.
The Shaw Festival will open its 64th season in Niagara-on-the-Lake with three productions: Sleuth, Funny Girl Starring Sara Farb, and the Canadian Debut of Jeeves & Wooster in Perfect Nonsense.
Those dramatis personae (ha!) and more are animated to a fare thee well by only two – count ‘em – two actors, Mr. Guy and Mr. Lang, who bring to their poly-personality assignments proficient physical suppleness and chameleon-like chops. I started to keep track of how many characters they essay, and then gave up – their number outpaced my jottings. Within a single scene, the two actors might exit and enter the stage as four different characters with seamless precision. It’s a wonder audience members don’t suffer whiplash.
The Shaw Festival has unveiled its 64th season today, set to begin in April 2026, featuring Funny Girl and more. See the full lineup here and learn more about the season!

'What ho! Turns out, Jeeves and I belong on stage. I'm having a splendid time at the Duke of York's Theatre with Jeeves and we shall continue recounting the complex case of that ghastly girl Gussie Fink-Nottle, my Aunt Dahlia and that dastardly cow-creamer until 17 January 2015. Of course Jeeves will be in touch in due course to update everyone with any information you might require to enjoy a topping night at the theatre' - Bertie Wooster
