Play Premiere                                     April 29 – May 15   Dancing Sky Theatre

It isn’t very often that we get a chance to see a world premiere of a play. That’s exactly the opportunity Dancing Sky Theatre and Gordon Tootoosis Nikaniwin Theatre are offering us. Popcorn Elder is a new play by Saskatoon playwrite Curtis Peeteetuce. The show centers around a father and son trying to rebuild their relationship after the son is released from prison. Popcorn Elder was inspired by a case of a fake shaman who held bogus sweat lodge ceremonies in Arizona in 2009. It’s a tale of small towns, spirituality and reconciliation. Dancing Sky is just a short drive  East of Saskatoon. Tickets are $27 – $30

One of my favourite bands from Canada’s West Coast is out on the road and stopping in Saskatoon. Said The Whale is working on a new album to follow up on 2013’s release of hawaiii. This tour is meant to debut the new songs before they record. Let Said The Whale test out it’s music prowess on you the show is sure to be a sell out.
