Stratford Festival Seeks $1 Million Council Grant
Stratford Festival chief Gerry Eldred calls current Canada Council funding inadequate and demands at least $1 million annually. He notes a $600,000 grant covers only about 8 percent of a $10 million budget as the festival grapples with deficits and rising ticket prices. Eldred also discusses cost efficiency, box office reliance, and leadership changes including Mary Jolliffe joining as head of communications.
