Strictly Stratford Productions and The Coach

We wanted to share another song from Dear Even Hasen! This time it's an acoustic version of Waving Through a Window featuring Robert Markus from the Canadian production (Also the first international production) that concluded the limited engagement in Toronto last July. Are you a fan of DEH? Did you know a Dear Even Hasen Movie is in the works? Ben Patt, the actor who raise to fame on Broadway will reprise his role in the movie. His father, Marc Platt will be a producer on the movie.

While we can't commit to a 2021 season outside of Stratford, but we most definitely like the idea of staying in Stratford next summer. "We've been involved quite closely since May listening to what The Festival has done and what it has planned for their return in 2021 and we will continue to do so. We can't commit to returning to the road in 2021 but we can commit to supporting the return of The Festival. We will most definitely be crafting a very special Stratford experience for people in Stratford to experience since we likely can't go on the road. We will be reinventing what we do once again". - Derek Andrew Gabriel Kelly, Executive Director and Producer of Strictly Stratford Productions and The Coach, Executive Producer of K Productions

Local landmarks joined in the national #LightUpLive event to show that the people in the arts industry are ready and waiting to work. Starting off on the East coast in Newfoundland and moving West to BC people took part. I think people presume there are few people who actually work in the arts in Ontario. It’s really not the case. 270,000 people work in the arts industry in Ontario. It’s 4% of the workforce in the province and those 270,000 people combined generate $25.7 Billion each year to Ontario’s gross domestic product. Stratford plays a huge part sending nearly a $100 million into the economy in Ontario. - Derek Andrew Gabriel Kelly, Executive Director and Producer of Strictly Straford Productions and The Coach and Executive Producer of K Productions.
