Fri. & Sat. – 8:30p.m. & 11:00p.m.               

Agar’s Corner

There was a point in time, only a few years ago where it looked like the Drive-In was on the way out in Saskatchewan, that was before the pandemic. These days an outdoor movie is ideal when it comes to enjoying a flick on the big screen and still staying safely distanced. Saskatoon’s Armed With Harmony has been going strong with shows since the beginning of May at Agar’s Corner just outside Saskatoon. There are snacks for purchase and bathrooms available so don’t worry about the kids. This weekend, the offerings are geared towards families. Friday the early show is Over The Hedge followed by the western classic Tombstone. Saturday, it’s all about superheroes with Spiderman Far From Home and Guardians of the Galaxy on the program. Tickets are $40 a car for a single show and the double feature for $60.

NEXT WEEK…

FIRESIDE STORIES II

May 27 – June 6

Dancing Sky Theatre – Meacham

There’s nothing like personal stories told around a campfire on a warm evening. Dancing Sky Theatre took performance back to its origins last Fall with Fireside Stories and the show quickly sold out in Meacham and Saskatoon. With COVID-19 rules still in place, the team decided it was a great time to welcome an audience back to its outdoor amphitheatre for the sequel. Fireside Stories II is a show filled with stories told in the traditional way but also through dance, clowning, poetry and music. Tickets are $10 so enjoy the drive out to the country, snuggle up with your loved ones and get your butt to Meacham.
