Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan
Shakespeare plays performed each summer on a large tent stage by the river, with the South Saskatchewan River scenery right behind the stage.
The Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan festival has been held every summer since 1985. Performances take place in a large tent stage in a park on the west bank of the river, with the South Saskatchewan River and the opposite shore visible behind the stage. The productions are lively and often set Shakespeare's plays in contemporary settings. The season runs from July to August, evening tickets cost about CAD 30–50, and there are drink stands outside the tent, so you can bring a picnic. Booking in advance is recommended, and since it can get cool by the river at night, bring a jacket.
