Performers Playhouse Festival

Friday 2:00p.m.

Facebook

As with many performances this year, Gordon Tootoosis Nīkānīwin Theatre has had to shift gears with its annual Performers Playhouse program. Artists from GTNT have been working with students at local schools to teach them theatre skills and help them develop their own stories into performances. That in-person work came to an end with the pandemic but the show must go on. Alumni from GTNT’s Circle of Voices program have joined forces with playwright Nitanis Bear to produce short plays out of stories right from the students. The readings will be performed every Friday for the next three weeks. Up first is The Haunted School from James L. Alexander School and Inside Out by students from Princess Alexandra School.
