Inspiration For Youth      Now – Sat.

Persephone Theatre Backstage Stage

It’s something I tell my kids all the time to “Slow down!” or to “Pay attention!” but what if you can’t? That’s the struggle facing Jamie Cavanaugh in Persephone Theatre’s newest show for young people The Incredible Speediness of Jamie Cavanaugh. The story follows Jamie as her and her best friend Max battle school yard bullies and try to harness all her energy. This show is ideal for kids in Grade 2 – Grade 6 and right after its Saskatoon run, the show will then embark on a school tour. Tickets are $20.

P.J. Party Time         Friday

City Park School

It’s the time of year when many of us look for ways to donate to Telemiracle (live show in Saskatoon this weekend Mar. 4 & 5). Children’s performer Sylvia Chave has a celebration planned to help you do just that and have a blast with your kids. She’s getting on her coziest pyjamas for a Pyjama Party. There will be crafts, a photo booth and prizes for the kids. It’s at 6:30p.m. so that’s nice and early for the little ones to all attend. Admission is a donation to Telemiracle and everyone’s invited to wear their p.j.’s. If you’d like more from Sylvia, don’t forget about her Marchmallow Treat concerts March 16th & 17th at the Refinery.
