• Monty Steals Christmas / Britainy Zapshalla

Brit’s Picks Dec. 1 – 8

Hang Onto Your Pantos!       Fri. – Dec. 18

Dancing Sky Theatre    Meacham, SK

Just a short drive East of Saskatoon a magical evening of theatre awaits. Dancing Sky Theatre has a holiday tradition that’s been going strong for a decade. Monty Steals Christmas, loosely rooted in the classic How The Grinch Stole Christmas, is a show that combines the magic of music, comedy and puppets. This is a show that will quickly become a family tradition as characters like Jack, Widow Spriggins and yes, even the scheming Monty St. Orange will steal your heart. Make a night of it and book yourself in for the dinner they serve before. It’s well worth the drive. Tickets are $30 for the show, add an extra $25 on if you want to stay for supper.

It’s not Christmas until you’ve heard that magical song from childhood. For me it’s tunes from How the Grinch Stole Christmas and A Charlie Brown Christmas. The Saskatoon Symphony Orchestra has gathered together a whole repertoire including songs from Whoville, Charlie Brown and a whole host of Christmas classics to get you in the spirit. You just might want to sing along, it’s a perfect show to take the whole family! Tickets are $15 – $70.
