Every year in September, students and faculty have the opportunity to participate in WJU’s annual pilgrimage to Stratford, Canada for the Stratford Shakespeare Festival,  four days and three nights of good plays, good company, and good times. The trip, sponsored by the Department of English, Professional Communications & Fine Arts, was inaugurated in 1970 by Professor Emeritus Paul Orr, and now operates under the direction of Associate Professor Kate Voorhees.  Besides seeing great theater, people spend time eating, shopping, walking/jogging along the Avon River, and occasionally sleeping.
 
Sign-ups for the Stratford trip take place each January.  For questions or additional information, contact Dr. Voorhees at voorhees@wju.edu.
