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.
