"Their shared dreams rise and fall, worn down by circumstances caused by a multitude of factors. These include the onset of the Great Depression, economic uncertainty, job losses and racism," writes Penny-Lynn Cookson.
The end is near for the Shaw Festival’s Spiegeltent in Niagara-on-the-Lake, with its final show scheduled for Sept. 28. After that, it'll be returning to its original home in Belgium.
Other highlights include the Broadway musical “Funny Girl,” opening April 24 at the Festival Theatre under the direction of Eda Holmes, and the farce “One for the Pot,” directed by Chris Abraham and set to premiere May 27.
