Houghton Academy

Stratford Festival

After studying one of Shakespeare’s plays during the first quarter of the year, members of the senior class make an excursion to Stratford, Ontario, Canada to watch a live performance of the play they have studied. The play is performed by the Stratford Festival of Canada, North America’s largest classical repertory theatre.

After the four hour drive to Stratford, the class watches the play and then returns to the May Wah restaurant in Fort Erie, Canada to enjoy the Chinese cuisine there.
