The Gay Card             

Thurs. – Apr. 30                     

The Refinery              

It’s so cool to watch a locally born piece of theatre evolve and grow over time, from the page to the stage if you will. The Gay Card by Logan Martin-Arcand premiered at the Saskatoon Fringe Festival in 2016 and went on to become the first-ever play from Saskatoon to perform in the New York City FRIGID Festival in 2019 winning several awards. Now SexualSpaceWalk Theatre is bringing this award-winning performance back to the Saskatoon stage to close out the Live Five Independent Theatre season. The Gay Card follows a group of men as they deal with the queer dating scene in small-town Saskatchewan. This performance deals with issues of consent, isolation, love and hookup culture. Tickets are $25 – $30.
