On now- The Watch List - 25th Street Theatre at Remai Arts Centre Saskatoon is lucky to host the world premiere of this play! When Michelle and Todd Milne (and Todd’s outspoken mother Irene) welcome their son Cyrus and his girlfriend Amy for a visit, the revelations that unfold could tear the family apart. In turns hilarious and heartbreaking, The Watch List is a gripping look at what happens when idealism crashes into real life. In partnership with the Saskatoon Sexual Assault & Information Centre, and the USSU Women’s Centre. $17-27

On now- Cantata for Vegetables at La Troupe du Jour by renowned Fransaskois writer Madeleine Blais-Dahlem. A celebration of the cycle of life. Four “vegetables” are bored at home and long to go on a pilgrimage—to Compostela. A lyrical play with music, it is a reflection on life, aging, mortality, nostalgia, freedom, and self-determination. There are english subtitles, don’t worry if you don’t speak French! $30, $20/senior, $15/under 30 or artist, $8/ 6 & under.

My kids loved the giant inflatable course and activities like mechanical snowboarding at Mosaic Stadium last weekend alongside classic winter festival fare like skating under twinkle lights downtown & right on Wascana, hot chocolate, sledding, horse drawn sleigh rides at the Legislative Buildings, a petting zoo, cultural entertainment… and so much more. There are both free & ticketed events. I’ve got a blog about it that’s nearly ready. I’ll link HERE when it’s up.
