SHAW FESTIVAL CANCELS REMAINING 2020 PERFORMANCES 

Many Clevelanders travel to Niagara-on-the-Lake, Canada each summer to experience the Shaw Festival.  This year, unfortunately, our hosts to the north have cancelled performances.  There were two shows left to open.  The hope of seeing them was dashed when the officials at the venue announced that, “As the country and world continue to deal with the impact of the pandemic, the Shaw Festival is unable to realize performances in fall 2020. As a result, the Festival has cancelled the remaining performances of Charley’s Aunt and Flush.
 
Performances of 
A Christmas Carol have not yet been cancelled in the hopes that The Shaw can welcome reduced-capacity audiences into the Royal George Theatre for the holiday season.
