Theatre

Theatre at the Scene is provocative and imaginative.

It’s Saskatchewan playwright and performer Gilles Poulin-Denis’ Governor General’s Award nominated road trip saga Rearview in the critically-acclaimed production by Saskatoon’s La Troupe du Jour.

It’s Cree playwright Kenneth T. Williams’ exploration of hate in the provocative Gordon Winter, produced by Saskatoon’s Persephone Theatre, starring celebrated screen and stage actor Gordon Tootoosis, and inspired by the life of David Ahenakew.

It’s Talk, the Governor General’s nominated play written by Michael Nathanson and produced by Winnipeg’s Jewish Theatre, which takes a frank, compelling look at the dynamics of friendship and the damage caused by a difference in political opinion.

It’s Manitoba Theatre for Young People’s wonderfully imaginative play for young audiences, Russell’s World, exploring the sometimes frightening world of the latchkey kid.

It’s Jim Guedo’s tribute to Joni Mitchell in Songs of a Prairie Girl – a musical collage celebrating and endorsed by the woman who believes that “Saskatchewan is in [her] veins.”

It’s an evening paying homage to Roland Mahé, long-time Artistic Director of Le Cercle Molière, whose influence and artistic leadership has shaped generations of Francophone theatre artists in the Prairies.
