It’s a magical, musical adventure and it all happens in the water. Sum Theatre is breaking new ground this year with Theatre in the Pool. The show is Earth Diver the Cree creation story and it features an ensemble cast made up of professional actors and 40 young people who’ve spent the past two weeks learning how to swim and perform together. This show is 15 minutes long and in between performances, the public is invited to jump in the pool and swim along with them. This show is completely free to the public.

Chart Topper            Sunday

SaskTel Centre

It’s hard to turn on the radio these days and not hear the music from Ed Sheeran. From Photograph to Shape of You, Sheeran has been at the top of the music scene for the last few years. This show will be incredible given that Sheeran performs onstage with only a microphone, guitar and loop pedals. He creates his songs entirely through a series of recording and playback. Tickets were snapped up fast for this show but at last check there were still a few available. Tickets are $49 – $118
