The Full Monty

Thursday – 2 shows

Broadway Theatre

You only have two chances left to see the Saskatoon Summer Players production of The Full Monty. The company has opened its 30th anniversary season with a bang and a little stripping. This is a heartfelt story about six unemployed steelworkers who decide to present a strip show to make some quick cash. It’s full of laughs and a bunch of great music and the best part is this is a production staged by people who are passionate about musical theatre. The cast and crew is made up almost entirely of volunteers doing it for the love of performance. Cheer on your neighbours and grab a ticket at $30 – $35.
