Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the cast and crew of the Stratford Festival for another excellent season of theatre.
The talented cast of veteran and new actors made us feel a gamut of emotions as we sat enthralled by the political intrigues of Julius Caesar , saddened by the heart-wrenching Cherry Orchard , enraptured by the musical mayhem of Man of La Mancha and left laughing by Much Ado About Nothing .
As many of the members of this House can attest, the Stratford Festival is boundless fun. I urge all theatre goers to attend the festival as it will run until November. If not this year, maybe next year.
In closing, I want to extend my best wishes for great success to two Stratford Festival plays that will begin showing in New York City this coming November.
