For Antoni Cimolino (BFA ‘84, DHum ‘04), the final weeks of his 14-season tenure as artistic director of the Stratford Festival are unfolding onstage in Saturday, Sunday, Monday.
The production also marks a milestone for fellow UWindsor graduate Rose Napoli, who is making her Stratford debut under Cimolino's direction.
And just days after the production closes, Cimolino's own story will return to Windsor, this time on the big screen.

A paid research placement at the University of Windsor has turned into something recent graduate Ashley Jun (BA '24) never expected: a first step toward a career in film production.
Just two months after Jun graduated with a BA in Communication, Media, and Film, she found herself working on the set of Plan C, a feature film produced in Windsor with a local cast and crew. What began as a production assistant role quickly evolved into a much larger responsibility — and helped clarify where she wants her career to go next.
