“Yeah, I get that he’s a genius but what in blazes is he going on about?!”

Shakespeare: A Most Rare Vision is an attempt by Williams Colgate & Shakespeare to answer that question. Over the course of two hours, 23 characters and 16 plays, it describes the lighthearted arc of one man’s journey from Shakes-phobe to Shakes-phile

“Yesterday, we had the chance to see Bill Colgate’s new show “Shakespeare: A Most Rare Vision”…it demystifies Shakespeare’s work with laughter and relevance… I loved it!  If you’re in Muskoka, see this!” – Jesse Collins (Artistic Director, Orillia Opera House)

“Who says we can’t enjoy great theatre in the middle of a pandemic? Bill Colgate’s one-man romp through Shakespeare’s works is delightful — an entertaining and deeply personal celebration of the relationship between an actor and the Bard. Whether you’re a serious Shakespeare fan or you haven’t thought about the plays since high school, you’ll love this show” – Andrew Wagner Chazalon (Editor & CEO Dockside Publishing)

Since 1934 when John Holden’s Actor’s Colony Theatre became the first summer stock company in Ontario there has been professional theatre in cottage country. Thus began a tradition which begat, among many others, The Straw Hat Players which begat The Muskoka Festival which begat Dot The T Productions which begat Muskoka Players.
