Guild Festival Theatre Announces Tenth Anniversary Season
The mainstage shows start with the Canadian classic Salt-Water Moon and the season ends with an imaginative adaptation of Alice in Wonderland.
GFT will present two beautiful mainstage productions and two special events, with in-person performances held outdoors at Guild Festival Theatre's home in Guild Park and Gardens, and select programming streamed online.
GFT's tenth anniversary season will be its biggest and most diverse to date! Starting with a special co-presentation with FabCollab, an eclectic performance showcasing a variety of musical guests. This will be followed by the Song & Story Series featuring an array of solo performances and workshops. The mainstage shows start with the Canadian classic Salt-Water Moon and the season ends with an imaginative adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, starring Kiana Woo as Alice.
With health and safety prioritized, Guild Festival Theatre is ready to welcome audiences back to the park. "We are confident that with vaccination rates rising and safety protocols in place, we will be able to gather safely in the park" states Co-Artistic Director Tyler J. Seguin. "After the year we've all had, GFT's return to the Greek Theatre this summer will be a truly special experience," says Co-Artistic Director Helen Juvonen.
