I'll be over in Niagara-on-the-Lake on that date at the Shaw Festival, traveling over to Stratford a couple days later.

I see Slings & Arrows cast member Pail Gross is Vladimir in Waìting for Godot which is currently in previews, so I'm guessing pretty likely he will be part of that reading.

At Stratford I have tickets for Guys & Dolls, Importance of Being Earnest, The Tempest, & Othello.  While at Shaw I'm seeing Heartbreak House and Amadeus.  Then I'll be back in Toronto for Caribana & will try to do Canada Stage's Summer Shakespeare in the Park which is Twelfth Night this year.  I tried to get tickets to see one of the Toronto Tame Impala shows but those sold out in minutes.  The Outsiders tour will also be playing the first weekend I arrive, and the T.O. sit down of & Juliet has extended to the end of August - but I don't feel any pressing need to see either.
