Hark, what app through yonder smart phone shines.

It's just the Stratford Festival's new app, it seems, developed by Metronome Mobile Media Solutions and now available as a free download for Fest fans eager to find out the latest in playbill information, ticket availability and other pressing theatrical information. Visit www.stratfordshakespearefestival.com for further information — and once the new app is installed, don't forget to shut your phone off before the play starts.
