The Stratford Festival’s Spirit of the Tent campaign is getting a boost from a London couple.
Andy and Helen Spriet have donated $1 million to the new Tom Patterson Theatre Centre which will be located on Lakeside Drive in Stratford.
Organizers say The Spirit of the Tent campaign is gaining tremendous momentum, with $74 million in gifts already received and several more million to be announced.
They say both levels of government have contributed significantly to the project with $20 million coming from Ottawa and $20 million from Ontario.
The new theatre is scheduled to open in the spring of 2020.
