Embrace Theatre and Theatre Howl are remounting The Wild Dog Waits on the Concrete Path by Nathan Howe for a tour in 2018. The playwright will not be reprising his role, so we are searching for an actor (of any gender) to take on the part.
Go to our Auditions Page for more information.
This afternoon Macbeth opened to a house of students (and some members of the public) generously sponsored by G&S Landscape and Excavation Service.
The Starpheonix also published a great article and video about the production. Read the story and watch the video here!

1. What is your favourite childhood memory about being outdoors in Saskatchewan?
2. What has been the most challenging part about working on‘Sask Outdoors?
The most challenging part for me personally has been trying to contribute what I believe to be the essence of Saskatchewan and it’s outdoors: it’s not something I think about nearly enough. It’s also something I grew up with, so I think I may just consider this amazing part of our province “business as usual” and I’ve neglected to give it the thought it deserves. Thankfully, being part of a cast that has thought about it has really helped me realize the wonder of our province!
3. Why should audiences see ‘Sask Outdoors’?
Sask Outdoors is funny, it’s touching, it has live music and puppets and clever sets and audience participation— it’s been so fun to put together, and we’re bursting at the seams to share it with everyone else (kids and adults alike!). All this fun, and completely free of charge. So why not come join us outdoors?
CHARLIE PETERS (Co-Creator/Director/Dramaturge) has a BFA in Acting from the U of S but works not only as an actor but also as a director of theatre and opera, playwright, dramaturge, lighting designer, and educator. In 2013 he won the SATAward for Outstanding Emerging Artist. He is the Founding Director of Embrace Theatre (www.embracetheatre.ca), President of the Saskatchewan Playwrights Centre, a board member of 25th Street Theatre, and a consultant for Crossing Bridges: The Saskatoon Theatre Blog (www.saskatoontheatreblog.wordpress.com).

‘Sask Outdoors?
3. Why should audiences see ‘Sask Outdoors’?
They wrote it! It really is a story written by many, many people. It just happened to be filtered through the experiences and talents of five artists.
On another level, it will be engaging: music, puppets, gags, and poetry combine. There’s something for everyone, for all ages.
It’s free!
