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.

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 backdrop for Saskatchewan Outdoors as it is being painted.
3. Why should audiences see ‘Sask Outdoors’?
Because it’s a show that everyone can relate to. I remember being a kid and not liking camping and being outside. I hope this show can really get kids away from their phones and computers this summer. I also hope that it will inspire more family vacations. As a person who comes from a fairly segregated family, I love seeing families that like each other and love spending time together.
