Time to hit the brakes!🚗 Before the day is over, we #AskAnArchivist one last thing: are there any automobiles in your collection?
Many cars, buses and military vehicles (some 2D) have made appearances in past productions. Can you name the shows?

💃 We #AskAnArchivist: do you have any female firsts represented in your archives?
Tanya Moiseiwitsch was our first designer and designed the Festival Theatre thrust stage in 1953 – quite the feat, considering the first female directors didn’t hit our stages until the 1970s.

We #AskAnArchivist: are there any Taylor Swift related items in your archives?
You could say we're experts on 'the fate of Ophelia'. This doll carried by Adrienne Gould, Ophelia in 2008's Hamlet, starts off pristine, but like its owner, ends the play broken and drowned.

[Stratford Festival @stratfest]

We're prepared for anything! 🧟 We #AskAnArchivist: what item in your archives will help you survive a zombie apocalypse?
Prospero's staffs from The Tempest can be used as walking sticks and even weapons – they are also magical and can be used to control the weather.

[Stratford Festival @stratfest]

Taking the world by storm! 🌏 We #AskAnArchivist to show us something from your collection in a foreign language.
This poster hung in the lobby of the Mhat Theatre in Moscow when our production of King Lear, directed by David William and starring William Hutt, toured in 1972.

Lettuce entertain you! 🥬 We #AskAnArchivist: what is your best food-themed item?
Feast your eyes on this costume made from plastic vegetables. Designed by Dany Lyne for the 2005 production of Into the Woods, Susan Gilmour wore it as The Witch.

Today is #AskAnArchivist day!
Our team of archivists are ready to answer questions on their day-to-day job, what experience and education prepared them for their roles and about the archives collection itself.

🔍 Send us your questions!

[Stratford Festival @stratfest]

If you want to learn more from our archives, then tune in this Thursday to ask our team of archivists about the collection and their work!

[Stratford Festival @stratfest]

Full of rough magic. ✨ Ahead of #AskAnArchivist Day on Thursday October 16, we've searched our archive collection for a unique object deserving of the spotlight. Behold, the cloak that Martha Henry wore as Prospero in our 2018 production of The Tempest.

[Stratford Festival @stratfest]

There are also pieces of Martha’s costume from her first role at the Festival, as Miranda in 1962, and pieces of the original tent that housed our first four seasons, from 1953 to 1956. Her magic staff also includes pieces of the original stage floor.

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🍁
May we all be as thankful as Little Orphan Annie, a truly perfect role model for this holiday.

Last night was delightful! I had a box seat at the Avon Theatre to enjoy the #SFDirtyrottenscoundrel show. I was also seated in an "action" seat, and mind my legs! That was exciting. The show was hilarious! What a delightful evening. @stratfest

Thank you Minister @StanChoMPP for visiting us here today to announce a $250,000 investment in the Stratford Festival, including funding from the newly developed Marquee Event Program. Thank you also to our local MPP @Rae_Matt for his continuing support.
