Work begins on the 2018 season at Vancouver’s Bard on the Beach Shakespeare Festival, where Alison is Head of Coaching. She oversees voice & text support for the acting company in rehearsals and during performances throughout the season.

Celebrating its 28th Season in 2017, Bard on the Beach is Western Canada's largest not-for-profit, professional Shakespeare Festival. Presented in a magnificent setting on the waterfront in Vancouver's Vanier Park, the Festival offers Shakespeare plays, related dramas, and several special events in two performance tents from June through September.
