Welcome to the St. Lawrence Shakespeare Festival! As we enter our eighth year of producing Shakespeare on the banks of the St. Lawrence river, we are excited to announce our 2010 season. If you’ve never been to Prescott before to experience our unique riverside amphitheatre, we hope you’ll take the opportunity this summer to take advantage what is fast becoming the premier outdoor theatre experience along the Seaway. So pack up your picnic and head down to the harbour – we’re looking forward to seeing you! Ian Farthing, Artistic Director
