Bring on the 'Cavalcade': the Shaw Festival revives a pageant

Article Abstract:

Shaw's artistic director Christopher Newton has undertaken the challenge of staging 'Cavalcade,' which has only been performed twice since 1931. The festival is $800,000 in debt, and Newton will keep 'Cavalcade' in repertory so it will be easily brought back for future seasons.
