The Stratford Festival is putting its entire 2020 season on hold indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic, it announced Monday. It’s the thing that’s going to cure our souls. There are people dying.”It was to have been a particularly momentous season for the 67-year-old theatre festival. An added irony is that the festival, North America’s largest not-for-profit theatre company, was created in 1953 to save the town of Stratford from economic depression. It’s kind of a covenant between us and the audience that we’re promising them theatre that’s going to move them, that will make them see life differently, that will make them laugh in the years ahead.
