Through the Window                      

Monday – Apr. 5      

Saskatoon & Regina

The artists at Sum Theatre specialize in connecting with the community and responding to its needs through performance. Through the Window is a show inspired by interviews the Sum Theatre team did with residents of long-term care homes in Regina and Saskatoon about the past year, their memories and how the isolation of the pandemic has changed their lives. The show will be performed outside care homes in parking lots, courtyards and the street just for residents in both cities. The general public will be able to get a glimpse of the whole project online later in April.
